Daddy Sang Bass
                  Johnny Cash
G
I remember when I was a lad
           C                    G
Times were hard and things were bad
                                         D
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud
          G
Just poor people that all we were
                 C                       G
Tryin' to make a livin' out of blackland earth
                                  D              G
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud . . [P]

CHORUS
N.C.                       G7 
Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor
              C                        G
Me and little brother would join right in there
                                 D
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
             G
One of these days and it won't be long
        C              G
I'll re-join them in a song
                          D            G
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne. ...
                        E7
No, the circle won't be broken
        C                  G
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ... [P]
N.C.                             G7
Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing tenor
              C                       G
Me and little brother will 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
                                        D
You could hear us singin' for a country mile
           G                            C                    G
Now little brother has done gone on but I'll rejoin him in a song
                           D                 G  
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while. . [P]

CHORUS

TAG: 
G                  D     G
In the sky, Lord,  in the sky.
