Daddy Sang Bass – E

(I) I remember when I was a lad, times were (IV) hard and things were (I) bad
But there's a silver linin' behind every (V7) cloud,
Just poor (I) people that all we were, tryin' to make a (IV) livin' out of blackland (I) earth,
But we'd get together in a family (V7) circle singin' (V) loud.

Chorus:
(N.C.) Daddy sang bass, Mama sang (I7) tenor, me and little (IV) brother would join right (I) in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled (V7) soul, one of these (I) days and it won't be long
I'll re- (IV) join them in a (I) song, I'm gonna join the family (V7) circle at the (I) throne
No, the circle won't be (I7) broken, bye and (IV) bye, Lord, bye and (I) bye
(N.C) Daddy'll sing bass, Mama'll sing (I7) tenor, me and little (IV) brother will join right in (I) there
In the sky, Lord, (V7) in the (I) sky.

Now I remember after work mama would call in all of us,
You could hear us singin' for a country mile.
Now little brother has done gone on but I'll rejoin him in a song,
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while.

CHORUS, TAG:

In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
