Verse 1
 
  D                     D7
I remember when I was a lad
           G                    D
Times were hard and things were bad
                                         A7
But there's a silver lining behind every cloud
          D                    D7
Just poor people that's all we were
                 G                      D
Try'n' to make a living outta blackland dirt
            D                 A7             D
We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
 
 
Chorus
           D (Muted)
Daddy Sang Bass
           D7
Momma sang tenor
              G                        D
Me and little brother would join right in there
                                 A7
Singin' seems to help a troubled Soul....
             D                     D7
One of these Days and it won't be  Long
        G              D
I'll re-Join them in a Song
                          A7            D
I'm gonna join the family Circle at the Throne...
 
 
Break
 
No the circle
         D7
Won't be broken
        G                  D
Bye and Bye, Lord, bye and bye
           D (Muted)

In the sky, Lord, in the sky
 
 
Verse 2
 
                     D7
Now I remember after work
            G              D
Momma would call in all of us
                                        A7
You could hear us singin' for a country mile
           D                     D7
Now little brother has done gone on
           G             D
But i'll rejoin him in a song
            D              A7                 D
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while
