Will The Be Unbroken

Will The Circle Be Unbroken By The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

INTRO: VERSE CHORDS SLOW Capo 2ND Fret C/G

I WAS STANDING BY MY WINDOW, ON ONE COLD AND CLOUDY DAY

WHEN I SAW THAT HEARSE COME ROLLING, FOR TO CARRY MY MOTHER AWAY.

CHORUS:

WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN, BYE AND BYE LORD, BYE AND BYE,

IN THE SKY LORD, IN THE SKY.

I SAID TO THE UNDERTAKER, UNDERTAKER PLEASE DRIVE SLOW

FOR THIS LADY THAT YOU ARE CARRING,

I HATE TO SEE HER GO.

OH I FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND HER, TRIED TO HOLD UP AND BE BRAVE

BUT I COULD NOT HIDE MY SORROW, WHEN THEY LAID HER IN THE GRAVE.

CHORUS:

I WENT BACK HOME, MY HOME WAS LONELY, MISSED MY MOTHER NOW SHE’S C/G GONE

ALL MY BROTHERS, SISTERS CRYING, WHAT A HOME SO SAD AND ALONE

WE SANG SONGS OF CHILDHOOD, HYMNS OF FAITH THAT MADE US STRONG

THE ONES THAT MOTHER SANG MAY HAVE TAUGHT US, WITH THE ANGLES
