D
Tempted and tried we’re,
G D
oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus,
E7 A
all the day long
D
While there are others,
G D
living about us
Never molested,
A D
though in the wrong
When death has come and,
G D
taken our loved ones
It leaves a home so,
E7 A
lonely and drear
Then do we wonder,
G D
why others prosper
Living so wicked,
A D
year after year
[Chorus]
Farther along we'll,
G D
know all about it
Farther along we'll,
E7 A
understand why
. D
Cheer up, my brother,
G D
live in the sunshine
We'll understand it,
A D
all by and by
[Verse 2]
Faithful 'til death said,
G D
our loving master
A few more days to,
E7 A
labour and wait
D
Toils of the road will,
G D
then seem as nothing
As we sweep through the,
A D
beautiful gates
Chorus]
Farther along we'll,
G D
know all about it
Farther along we'll,
E7 A
understand why
D
Cheer up, my brother,
G D
live in the sunshine
We'll understand it,
A D
all by and by
Yes we’ll understand it,
A D
all by And by
