Farther Along

D         G   D         A7         D  D
(We'll un-der-stand it, all by and by...)

{Verse 1}
D                 D7     G            D   D
Tempted and tried we're: Oft' made to won-der.
                       E7          A7   A7
Why it should be thus, all the day long..
D                   D7     G       D    D
While there are o - thers, living about us..
                A7            D      D
Never molested, though in the wrong.

{Chorus}
D             D7    G          D    D
Farther along we'll know more about it..
                    E7         A7   A7
Farther along we'll understand why.
D            D7        G           D   D
Cheer up! My bro-ther, live in the sun-shine.
                     A7         D    D
We'll understand it, all by and by..

{Verse 2}
D                       G         D     D
When death has come and taken our loved ones.
                      E7         A7   A7
Leaving our homesy, lonely and drear.
D              D7   G          D    D
Then do we won-der, how others pros-per.
                  A7         D      D
Living so wicked, year after year.

{Chorus}
D                    G          D    D
Farther along we'll, know more about it.
                     E7         A7   A7
Farther along we'll, understand why.
                      G           D   D
Cheer up! My brother, live in the sun-shine.
                     A7         D    D
We'll understand it, all by and by.
