Daddy Sang Bass Cifras

{Verse 1]
 
          G
Well, I remember when I was a lad
           C                    G
Times were hard and things were bad
              C                          A7  D
But there's a silver linin' behind ev'ry cloud
          G
Just poor people that 's all we were
                 C                        G
Tryin' to make a livin' out of black-land dirt
                                  D              G
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
 
[Chorus]
N.C.
Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
              C                        G
Me and little brother would join right in there
                                 A7  D
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
             G
One of these days and it won't be long
       C              G
I'll rejoin them in a song
                          D             G
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
           G
Though the circle won't be broken
       C                G
By and by, Lord, by and by
N.C.
Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
              C                        G
Me and little brother would join right in there
                 D       G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
 
[Verse 2]
      G                              C              G
Now I remember after work mama would call in all of us
                                        A7 D
You could hear us singin' for a country mile
           G
Now little brother has done gone on
           C             G
But I'll rejoin him in a song
                           D                  G
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while
 
[Chorus]

Me and little brother would join right in there
                                        A7 D
'Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul
             G
One of these days and it won't be long
       C              G
I'll rejoin them in a song
                          D             G
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
          G
Oh no the circle won't be broken
       C                G
By and by, Lord, by and by

In the sky, Lord, in the sky
       G         D       G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
