[Verse 1]

      G              G7
I was standing by my window
       C               G
On one cold and cloudy day
       Em                  G
When I saw the hearse come rolling
       Em       C       G
For to carry my mother away

[Chorus]

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

How I hate to see her go

[Verse 3]

  G                 G7
I followed, close behind her
         C              G
Tried to hold up and be brave
      Em                G
But I could not hide my sorrow
          Em       C      G
When they laid her in the grave

In the sky Lord, in the sky
