Will The Circle Be Unbroken Ukulele chords by Johnny Cash

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse 1:
   F
I was standing by the window
    Bb       F
On one cold and cloudy day

And I saw the hearse come rolling
         C7  F
For to carry my mother away

Chorus:
     F
Will the circle be unbroken
    Bb       F
By and by Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting
         C7   F
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Verse 2:
    F
Lord, I told the undertaker
   Bb          F
Undertaker please drive slow

For this lady you are carrying
        C7   F
Lord, I hate to see her go

Chorus:
     F
Will the circle be unbroken
    Bb       F
By and by Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting
         C7   F
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Verse 3:
   F
Oh, I followed close behind her
     Bb       F
Tried to hold up and be brave

But I could not hide my sorrow
          C7   F
When they laid her in the grave

Chorus:
     F
Will the circle be unbroken
    Bb       F
By and by Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting
         C7   F
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Verse 4:
    F
I went back home, the home was lonesome
     Bb       F
Since my mother, she was gone

All my brothers and sisters crying
        C7   F
What a home so sad and alone

Chorus:
     F
Will the circle be unbroken
    Bb       F
By and by Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting
         C7   F
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Verse 5:
    F
We sang songs of childhood
     Bb         F
Hymns of faith that made us strong

Ones that mother Maybelle taught us
     C7     F
Hear the angels sing along

Chorus:
     F
Will the circle be unbroken
    Bb       F
By and by Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting
         C7   F
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
