C  G  Am  F  
C  G  F  C  

C                          G  
Well, the circle is unbroken  
Am                       F  
By and by, Lord, by and by  
C                         G  
There's a better home awaiting  
F                     C  
In the sky, Lord, in the sky  

C                         G  
Well, I had a little dog and he used to bark  
Am                        F  
And I used to say, "Here comes the dark"  
C                      G  
But now that little dog is gone  
F                    C  
And the circle goes on and on  

C                         G  
That's the way the world goes 'round  
Am                       F  
You're up one day, the next you're down  
C                         G  
It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown  
F                  C  
That's the way that the world goes 'round
