[F] [Gm] [Ab] I was standing by the window [Db] on one cold and cloudy [Ab]
day,
and I saw the purse come rolling far [Eb] to carry my [Ab] mother away.
Oh, can the circle be unbroken [Db] by and by, Lord, by [Ab] and by?
That's a better home awaiting in the [Eb] sky, Lord, in [Ab] the sky.
[Bbm]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab] Lord, I told thee, undertaker, [Db]
undertaker, please [Ab] drive slow.
For this body you are hauling, Lord, [Eb] I hate to see [Ab] her go.
Oh, can the circle be unbroken by [Db] and by, Lord, by [Ab] and by?
That's a better home awaiting in the [Eb] sky, Lord, in the [Ab] sky.
I followed close behind her, [Cm] [Db] tried to hold up and [Ab] be brave,
but I could not hide my sorrow when [Eb] they laid her in [Ab] the grave.
Oh, can the circle be unbroken by [Db] and by, Lord, by [Ab] and by?
That's a better home awaiting in the sky, [Eb] Lord, in [Ab] the sky.
[Bb]
[Ab] [Eb] [Ab] Went back home, Lord, my home was long gone, [C]
[Db] missed my mother, she [Ab] was gone.
All my brothers, sisters crying, what [Eb] a home so sad [Ab] and long.
Oh, can the circle be unbroken [Bbm] by and by, Lord, by [Ab] and by?
[Eb] That's [Ab] a better home awaiting in the [Eb] sky, Lord, in the [Ab] sky.
