G Well I remember when I was a lad
Times were C hard and things were G bad
But there's a silver linin'... behind every D7 cloud
Just poor G people that's all we were
Tryin' to make a C livin' outta outback G dirt
But we'd get together in a D7 circle and sing out G loud ...
Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor
G7 Me and little C brother would join right G in there
Singin'... seems to help a troubled D7 soul
One of these G days it won't be long
We'll all C join in this G song
We'll all get together up D7 yonder at the G throne ...
No, the circle ... won't be broken
G7 Bye and C bye, Lord, bye and G bye ...
Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing tenor
G7 Me and little C brother will join right G in there
In the sky Lord ... D7 in the G sky.
G Now I remember after work
mama would C call in all of G us
You could hear us singin' ... for a country D7 mile
Now little G brother he has gone on
and I'm gonna C join him before too G long
We'll all get together up D7 yonder at the G throne ...
Chorus
In the sky, Lord, D7 in the G sky
Said In the sky Lord ... D7 in the G sky ... C G D7 G
