Farther Along chords by Johnny Cash

FARTHER ALONG

[Verse 1}

C           F       C
Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder
           D     G
Why it should be thus all the day long
        C   F   C
While there are others living about us
        G7      C
Never molested though in the wrong


Chorus:
          F       C
Farther along we'll know all about it
          D     G
Farther along we'll understand why
      C   F     C
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
          G7     C
We'll understand it all by and by

[Verse 2}

C            F       C
When death has come and taken our loved ones
            D     G
It leaves our homes so lonely and drear
C          F   C
Then do we wonder why others prosper
         G7     C
Living so wicked year after year


Chorus:
          F       C
Farther along we'll know all about it
          D     G
Farther along we'll understand why
      C   F     C
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
          G7     C
We'll understand it all by and by


[Verse 3}

C        F     C
When we see Jesus coming in glory
          D          G
When he comes down from his home in the sky
C         F         C
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion
          G7     C
We'll understand it all by and by


Chorus:
          F       C
Farther along we'll know all about it
          D     G
Farther along we'll understand why
      C   F     C
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
          G7     C
We'll understand it all by and by
