I was standing by my window
     C               G
On a cold and cloudy day
                           Em
When I saw the hearse come rolling
       G        D7      G
For to carry my mother away.

         G           G7
Will the circle be unbroken?
       C               G
By and by Lord, by and by
                      Em
There's a better home awaiting
       G         D7     G
In the sky Lord, in the sky.

             G                   G7
Well, I went back home, home was lonely
       C              G
For my mother she was gone
                            Em
And all my family there was cryin'
        G         D7       G
For our home felt sad and alone.

         G           G7
Will the circle be unbroken?
       C               G
By and by Lord, by and by
                      Em
There's a better home awaiting
       G         D7     G
In the sky Lord, in the sky.

     G           G7
Undertaker, undertaker
          C            G
Won't you please drive slow
                      Em
For that lady you are haulin'
        G       D7      G
Lord, I hate to see her go.

         G           G7
Will the circle be unbroken?
       C               G
By and by Lord, by and by
                      Em
There's a better home awaiting
       G         D7     G
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
