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
