       E                       E7                                 
I re -    member when I was a     lad
            A/E                        E                           
Times were       hard and things were    bad
                             E                B7/F#                  
But there's a silver linin'     behind every         cloud
           E                       E7                             
Just poor    people that's all we     were
                  A/E                         E                    
Tryin' to make a      livin' out of blackland    dirt
                                   B7/F#                E           
But we'd get together in a family        circle singing    loud /


Chorus:
                                     E7                       
Daddy sang bass            Mama sang     tenor
               A/E                           E                    
Me and little       brother would join right    in there
E                                    B7/F#                           
   Singin' seems to help a troubled         soul
              E                      E7                          
One of these    days and it won't be     long
           A                 E

I'm gonna     join the family         circle at the     throne
        E         E                                            
No the     circle 
         E7          E7

         A/E                   E                                  
Bye and      bye Lord, bye and     bye/
                                       E7

Me and little        brother will join right     in there
        E            B7          E

            E               E7                                   
Now I re -     member after     work
            A/E                 E                                 
Mama would       call in all of    us
           E                                B7                    
You could    hear us singin' for a country      mile
