Can The Circle Be Unbroken?

6 -6     7   8   8 -8   7   8
I was stand-ing by the win-dow

8 -8   7  -8    7  -6  6
On a cold and cloud-y day,

  6 -6  7   7    8      9   9    8
When I saw the hearse come roll-ing

 8  -8  7  7   7  -8  8 -8  7
for to car-ry my moth-er a-way.

chorus

 6  -6   7   8   8 -8  7   8
Can the cir-cle be un-bro-ken,

 8 -8   7    7    7  7  -6
By and by, Lord, by and by?

  6    -6  7   7    8  9   9  8
There's a bet-ter home a-waiting

 8 -8   7     7   -8 -8   7
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

verse 2
Yes, I followed close behind her,
Tried to cheer up and be brave,
But my sorrows I could not hide them,
When they laid her in the grave.

verse 3
Went back home, Lord, cold and lonesome,
Since my mother she was gone,
All my brothers and sisters crying,
What a home, so sad and lone.
