this sounds best if you fingerpick through it . if you’re not used to fingerpicking , this
is a good song to practice with . the G – A – C chord progression at the beginning of each
verse/Chorus is optional; it just adds to the song a bit . you don’t have to play the
full chord with each of those , just the root note .
you can also play C – B – Am when transitioning to the Am on the third line of every
verse/Chorus . it sounds like he does that in the recording .
( verse 1 )
G A C
there are loved ones in the glory
F C
whose dear forms you often miss
Am
when you close your earthly story
C G C
will you join them in their bliss?
( chorus )
G A C
will the circle be unbroken
F
by and by , by and by
C Am
is a better home awaiting
C G C
in the sky , in the sky
( verse 2 )
G A C
in the joyous days of childhood
F C
oft they told of wondrous love
Am
pointed to the dying saviour ,
C G C
now they dwell with him above ,
( chorus )
G A C
will the circle be unbroken
F C
by and by , by and by
Am
is a better home awaiting
C G C
in the sky , in the sky
( verse 3 )
G A C
you remember songs of heaven
F C
which you sing with childish voice
Am
do you love the hymns they taught you
C G C
or are songs of earth your choice
( chorus )
G A C
will the circle be unbroken
F C
by and by , by and by
Am
is a better home awaiting
C G C
in the sky , in the sky
( verse 4 )
G A C
you can picture happy gatherings
F C
’round the fireside long ago
Am
and you think of tearful partings
C G C
when they left you here below
( chorus )
G A C
will the circle be unbroken
F C
by and by , by and by
Am
is a better home awaiting
in the sky , in the sky
( verse 5 )
G A C
one by one their seeds were emptied
F C
and one by one they went away
Am
now the family is parted
C G C
will it be complete one day?
( chorus )

will the circle be unbroken

by and by , by and by
