Tom:
G
Well I remember when I was a lad
C G
Times were hard and things were bad
D7
But there's a silver linin'... behind every cloud
G
Just poor people that's all we were
C G
Tryin' to make a livin' outta outback dirt
D7 G
But we'd get together in a circle and sing out loud ...
[Chorus]
Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor
G7 C G
Me and little brother would join right in there
D7
Singin'... seems to help a troubled soul
G
One of these days it won't be long
C G
We'll all join in this song
D7 G
We'll all get together up yonder at the throne ...
No, the circle ... won't be broken
G7 C G
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ...
Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing tenor
G7 C G
Me and little brother will join right in there
D7 G
In the sky Lord ... in the sky.
G
Now I remember after work
C G
mama would call in all of us
D7
You could hear us singin' ... for a country mile
G
Now little brother he has gone on
C G
and I'm gonna join him before too long
D7 G
We'll all get together up yonder at the throne ...
[Chorus]
D7 G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
D7 G
Said In the sky Lord ... in the sky ...
