    E                                   A                    E
I remember when I was a lad, times were hard and things were bad.
             E                         B7
But theres a silver linin behind every cloud
          E                                        A
Just poor people thats all we were tryin to make a livin out of
          E
blackland Earth
            E                    B7            E
But wed get together in a family circle singin loud

CHORUS:
N.C.                       E7
Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor
              A                           E
Me and little brother would join right in ther
                                B7
Singin seems to help a troubled soul
             E
One of these days and it wont be long
      A              E
Ill rejoin them in a song
                         B7            E
Im gonna join the family circle at the throne
       E              E7            A              E
No the cirCle wont be broken by and by lord by and by
N.C.                       E7
Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor
              A                           E
Me and little brother would join right in there
       E        B7     E
In the sky Lord in the sky

E B7 E

Now I remember after work mama would call in all of us
You could hear us singin for a country mile
Now little brother has done gone on
But Ill rejoin him in a song
Well be together again up yonder in a little while
