Artist: George Jones
I was [G]standing by my window [G7]
On a [C]cold and cloudy [G]day
When I saw that hearse come roll [Em]ing,
Lord, to [C]carry my [D]mother a [G]way
Will the [G]circle be unbroken [G7]
By and [C]by, Lord, by and [G]by
There's a better home await [Em]ing
In the [C]sky - Lord, [D]in the [G]sky
And I [G]followed close behind her [G7] ,
Tryin' to [C]hold up and be [G]brave
But, I could not hide my sorr [Em]ow,
When they [C]laid her [D]in that [G]grave
Will the [G]circle be unbroken [G7]
By and [C]by, Lord, by and [G]by
There's a better home await [Em]ing
In the [C]sky - Lord, [D]in the [G]sky
I went [G]back home - my home was lonesome [G7]
For my [C]mother she was [G]gone
Saw my brothers and sisters cry [Em]ing
What a [C]home so [D]sad and a [G]lone [G7]
Will the [G]circle be unbroken [G7]
By and [C]by, Lord, by and [G]by
There's a better home await [Em]ing
In the [C]sky - Lord, [D]in the [G]sky
Will the [G]circle be unbroken [G7]
By and [C]by, Lord, by and [G]by
There's a better home await [Em]ing
In the [C]sky - Lord, [D]in the [G]sky
There's a better home await [Em]ing
In the [C]sky - Lord, [D]in the sky
On a [C]cold and cloudy [G]day
When I saw that hearse come roll [Em]ing,
Lord, to [C]carry my [D]mother a [G]way
Will the [G]circle be unbroken [G7]
By and [C]by, Lord, by and [G]by
There's a better home await [Em]ing
In the [C]sky - Lord, [D]in the [G]sky
And I [G]followed close behind her [G7] ,
Tryin' to [C]hold up and be [G]brave
