WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
George Jones
From the CD "Honky Tonkin'"


I was (G) standing by my window (G7)
On a (C) cold and cloudy (G) day
When I saw that hearse come roll(Em)ing,
Lord, to (C) carry my (D) mother a(G)way

Will the (G) circle be unbroken (G7)
By and (C) by, Lord, by and (G) by
There's a better home await(Em)ing
In the (C) sky - Lord, (D) in the (G) sky

And I (G) followed close behind her (G7), 
Tryin' to (C) hold up and be (G) brave
But, I could not hide my sorr(Em)ow, 
When they (C) laid her (D) in that (G) grave

Will the (G) circle be unbroken (G7)
By and (C) by, Lord, by and (G) by
There's a better home await(Em)ing
In the (C) sky - Lord, (D) in the (G) sky

I went (G) back home - my home was lonesome (G7) 
For my (C) mother she was (G) gone
Saw my brothers and sisters cry(Em)ing 
What a (C) home so (D) sad and a(G)lone (G7)

Will the (G) circle be unbroken (G7)
By and (C) by, Lord, by and (G) by
There's a better home await(Em)ing
In the (C) sky - Lord, (D) in the (G) sky
Will the (G) circle be unbroken (G7)
By and (C) by, Lord, by and (G) by
There's a better home await(Em)ing
In the (C) sky - Lord, (D) in the (G) sky
There's a better home await(Em)ing
In the (C) sky - Lord, (D) in the sky
