I was [C]standing by my [C7]window
On a [F]cold and cloudy [C]day
When I saw the hearse come [Am]rolling
For to [C]carry my [G7]mother aw[C]ay.
{start_of_chorus}
Will the [C]circle be un[C7]broken?
By and [F]by Lord, by and [C]by
There’s a better home a[Am]waiting
In the [C]sky Lord, [G7]in the [C]sky.
{end_of_chorus}
Well, I [C]went back, home was [C7]lonely
For my [F]mother she was [C]gone
And all my family there was [Am]cryin'
For our [C]home felt [G7]sad and al[C]one.
{start_of_chorus}
Will the [C]circle be un[C7]broken?
By and [F]by Lord, by and [C]by
There’s a better home a[Am]waiting
In the [C]sky Lord, [G7]in the [C]sky.

Un[C]dertaker, under[C7]taker
Won’t you [F]please drive [C]slow
For that lady you are [Am]haulin'
Lord, I [C]hate to [G7]see her [C]go.
{start_of_chorus}
Will the [C]circle be un[C7]broken?
By and [F]by Lord, by and [C]by
There’s a better home a[Am]waiting
In the [C]sky Lord, [G7]in the [C]sky.
