[A] I was standing by my window on one [D] cold and cloudy [A] day
When I saw that earth come [G#m] rolling [A] for to carry [E] my mother [A] away
Rode the circle beyond the pin, [D] flying by, Lord, flying by
With the feather on his [F#m] wing, in [A] the sky, [E] Lord, in [A] the sky
I said to that undertaker,
[D] undertaker, please [A] drive slow
For this lady you are [F#m] carrying, [A] Lord, I hate [E] to see [A] her go
The circle beyond broken, [D] flying by, Lord, [A] flying by
There's a better home [F#m] awaiting, in the [E] sky, Lord, [A] in the sky
Oh,
[D] [A]
[F#m]
[A]
I followed close behind her, [D] tried to hold up and [A] be brave
But I could not hide my [F#m] sorrow [A] when they [E] laid her [A] in the grave
Will the circle be unbroken, [D] flying by, Lord, [A] flying by
There's a better home [F#m] awaiting, in the sky, [E] Lord, [A] in the sky
I went back home, my home was lonesome, [D] missed my mother, she [A] was gone
All my brothers and sisters [F#m] crying, [A] what a home [E] so [A] sad and gone
Will the circle be unbroken, [D] flying by, Lord, [A] flying by
There's a better home [F#m] awaiting, [A] in the [E] sky, Lord, in [A] the sky
[D] [A]
[F#m]
[A] [E] We [A]
sang songs of childhood, [D] hymns of faith that made [A] us strong
Ones that mother [F#m] passed, [A] hear the angels [E] sing [A] along
Will the circle be unbroken, [D] flying by, Lord, [A] flying by
There's a better home awaiting, [F#m]
[A] in the sky, [E] Lord, in [A] the sky
Will the circle be unbroken, [D] flying by, Lord, flying [A] by
There's a better home [E]
