Tuning:

^CI remember when I was a ^C7lad Times were ^Fhard and things were ^Cbad

But there's a silver linin' behind every ^G7cloud Just poor ^Cpeople that's all we w^C7ere

Tryin' to make a ^Flivin' out of blackland ^Cdirt But we'd get together in a family ^G7circle singing ^Cloud

Daddy sang bass Mama sang ^C7tenor Me and little ^Fbrother would join right in ^Cthere

Singin' seems to help a troubled ^G7soul One of these ^Cdays and it won't be ^C7long

I'll r^Fejoin them in a ^Csong I'm gonna join the family ^G7circle at the ^Cthrone

No the circle won't be ^C7broken Bye and ^Fbye Lord bye and ^Cbye

Daddy'll sing bass Mama'll sing ^C7tenor Me and little ^Fbrother will join right ^Cin there

In the sky Lord ^Fin ^G7the ^Csky

Now I remember after ^C7work Mama ^Fwould call in all of ^Cus

You could hear us singin' for a country ^G7mile Now little ^Cbrother has done gone ^C7on
