Can The Circle Be Unbroken Chords

(ver. 2)
Carter Family
Verse 1:
        G              G7
I was standing by the window
      C               G
On a dark and cloudy day
        G                  Bm      Em
When I saw the hearse come rolling
        A7  D7           G
For to carry my mother away

CHORUS:
         G            G7
Can the circle be unbroken
        C               G
By and by, Lord, by and by
        G               Bm     Em
There's a better home awaiting
        A7       D7       G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Verse 2:
         G             G7
Lord, I told the undertaker:
       C                    G
"Undertaker, please drive slow
          G           Bm     Em
For this body you are holding 
        A7     D7       G
Lord, I hate to see her go."

CHORUS:
         G            G7
Can the circle be unbroken
        C               G
By and by, Lord, by and by
        G               Bm     Em
There's a better home awaiting
        A7       D7       G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Verse 3:
       G                G7
For I followed close behind her
          C               G
Tried to hold up and be brave
          G              Bm    Em
But I could not hide my sorrow
           A7     D7        G
When they laid her in the grave

CHORUS:
         G            G7
Can the circle be unbroken
        C               G
By and by, Lord, by and by
        G               Bm     Em
There's a better home awaiting
        A7       D7       G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Verse 4:
           G                      G7
Went back home Lord, my home was lonesome
        C              G
Yes my mother she was gone
         G                Bm   Em
All my brothers, sisters cryin'
        A7     D7        G
What a home, so sad and lone.

CHORUS:
         G            G7
Can the circle be unbroken
        C               G
By and by, Lord, by and by
        G               Bm     Em
There's a better home awaiting
        A7       D7       G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
