I was standing by my windowCGOn a cold and cloudy dayEmWhen I saw the hearse come rollingGD7GFor to carry my mother away.CHORUS
GG7Will the circle be unbroken?CGBy and by Lord, by and byEmThere's a better home awaitingGD7GIn the sky Lord, in the sky.
GG7
Well, I went back home, home was lonelyCGFor my mother she was goneEmAnd all my family there was cryin'GD7GFor our home felt sad and alone.(chorus)
G G7
I said to that undertaker, CGUndertaker please drive slowEmFor that lady you are haulin'GD7GLord, I hate to see her go.(chorus)(chorus)
