Can The Circle Be Unbroken Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Carter Family
Chords: Ab, D#, C#
I usually play with a capo on the first fret. If you decide to play that way the 
chord forms that should be played are G for Ab, D for D#, and C for C#.

Verse:Ab                                   C#              Ab
      I was standing by the window, on one cold and cloudy day
                                        D#              Ab
and I saw the hearse come rolling for to carry my mother away.

Chorus:Ab                                 C#              Ab
       Can the circle be unbroken? By and by Lord, by and by.
                                      D#               Ab
There's a better home awaiting in the sky lord in the sky.

Verse:Ab                           C#                      Ab
      Lord, I told the undertaker, undertaker please drive slow.
                                     D#              Ab
For this body you are hauling lord I hate to see her go.

Chorus: Ab                                 C#              Ab
        Can the circle be unbroken? By and by, Lord by and by.
                                      D#              Ab
There's a better home awaiting in the sky lord in the sky.

Verse:Ab                           C#                      Ab
      I followed close behind her, tried to hold up and be brave.
                                       D#              Ab
But I could not hide my sorrow as they laid her in the grave.

Chorus:Ab                                 C#             Ab
       Can the circle be unbroken? By and by lord by and by.
                                      D#              Ab
There's a better home awaiting in the sky lord in the sky. 

Verse: Ab                                           C#
      I went back home, Lord. My home was lonesome. Yes my mother she was 
Ab
gone. 
                                                D#         Ab
All my brothers and sisters crying for our home so sad and alone.

Chorus:Ab                                 C#              Ab
       Can the circle be unbroken? By and by, Lord by and by.
                                      D#               Ab
There's a better home awaiting in the sky, Lord in the sky.
