Verse 1:
I rem[E]remember when I was a lad
Times were h[A]hard and things were b[E]bad
But there's a silver linin' behind every cl[B7]cloud
Just poor p[E]people that all we [E7]were
Tryin' to make a l[A]livin' out of blackland e[E]earth
But we'd get together in a family c[B7]circle singin' l[E]loud. ...
Chorus:
Daddy sang bass, mama sang t[E]tenor [E7]
Me and little br[A]brother would join right i[E]in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled s[B7]soul
One of these d[E]days and it won't be l[E7]long
I'll rej[A]rejoin them in a [E]song
I'm gonna join the family c[B7]circle at the th[E]throne. ...
No, the circle won't be broken [E7]
Bye and b[A]bye, Lord, bye and [E]bye ...
Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing t[E]tenor [E7]
Me and little br[A]brother will join right [E]in there
In the sky, Lord, [B7]in the sk[E]sky. [E] [B7] [E]
Verse 2:
Now I rem[E]ember after work mama would c[A]all in all of u[E]s
You could hear us singin' for a country m[B7]mile
Now little br[E]other has done g[E7]one on but I'll rej[A]oin him in a s[E]ong
We'll be together again up y[B7]yonder in a little wh[E]while.
Chorus:
Daddy sang bass, mama sang t[E]tenor [E7]
Me and little br[A]brother would join right i[E]in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled s[B7]soul
One of these d[E]days and it won't be l[E7]long
I'll rej[A]rejoin them in a [E]song
I'm gonna join the family c[B7]circle at the th[E]throne. ...
No, the circle won't be broken [E7]
Bye and b[A]bye, Lord, bye and [E]bye ...
Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing t[E]tenor [E7]
Me and little br[A]brother will join right [E]in there
In the sky, Lord, [B7]in the sk[E]sky. [E] [B7] [E]
