Can The Circle Be Unbroken By And By - The Carter Family | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Verse 1]
---------------------
E       E 
  I was standing by the window
       A               E 
On one cold and cloudy day
And I saw the hearse come rolling
       B                E 
For to carry my mother away

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
            E 
Oh, can the circle be unbroken
       A               E 
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
       B                 E 
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

[Interlude]
---------------------
E  A  E  B  E         E 
              Lord, I told the undertaker

[Verse 2]
---------------------
     A                  E 
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are holding
        B               E 
Lord, I hate to see her go

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
        E 
Can the circle be unbroken
       A               E 
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
       B                 E 
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

[Verse 3]
---------------------
      E 
Oh, I followed close behind her
         A              E 
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
          B               E 
When they laid her in the grave

[Verse 4]
---------------------
E  B7           E 
      Went back home, Lord, my home was lonesome
         A               E 
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
       B                E 
What a home so sad and alone
