[Verse]
E
I remember when I was a lad
A E
Times were hard and things were bad
B7
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud
E
Just poor people that all we were
A E
Tryin' to make a livin' out of blackland earth
B7 E
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud. ...
[Chorus]
E7
Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor
A E
Me and little brother would join right in there
B7
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
E
One of these days and it won't be long
A E
I'll rejoin them in a song
B7 E
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne. ...
E7
No, the circle won't be broken
A E
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ...
E7
Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing tenor
A E
Me and little brother will join right in there
B7 E E B7 E
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
[Verse]
E A E
Now I remember after work mama would call in all of us
B7
You could hear us singin' for a country mile
E A E
Now little brother has done gone on but I'll rejoin him in a song
B7 E
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while.
[Chorus]
E7
Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor
A E
Me and little brother would join right in there
B7
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
E
One of these days and it won't be long
A E
I'll rejoin them in a song
B7 E
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne. ...
E7
No, the circle won't be broken
A E
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ...
E7
Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing tenor
A E
Me and little brother will join right in there
B7 E E B7 E
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
