6 -6 7 8 8 -8 7 8
I was stand-ing by the win-dow

8 -8 7 -8 7 -6 6
On a cold and cloud-y day,

6 -6 7 7 8 9 9 8
When I saw the hearse come roll-ing

8 -8 7 7 7 -8 8 -8 7
for to car-ry my moth-er a-way.

6 -6 7 8 8 -8 7 8
Can the cir-cle be un-bro-ken,

8 -8 7 7 7 7 -6
By and by, Lord, by and by?

6 -6 7 7 8 9 9 8
There's a bet-ter home a-waiting

8 -8 7 7 -8 -8 7
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
