Daddy Sang Bass

by Johnny Cash

C                       C7

I remember when I was a lad

           F                    C

Times were hard and things were bad

G7

But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud

          C                     C7

Just poor people that's all we were

                 F                       C

Tryin' to make a livin' out of blackland dirt

                                  G7             C

But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud

chorus

C7

Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor

              F                           C

Me and little brother would join right in there

G7

Singin' seems to help a troubled soul

             C                    C7

One of these days and it won't be long

      F               C

I'll rejoin them in a song

                          G7            C

I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne

C7

No the circle won't be broken

       F                C

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

C7

Daddy'll sing bass  Mama'll sing tenor

              F                       C

Me and little brother will join right in there

                F   G7   C

In the sky Lord in  the  sky

C7

Now I remember after work

     F                    C

Mama would call in all of us

G7

You could hear us singin' for a country mile

           C                     C7

Now little brother has done gone on

         F               C

But I'll rejoin him in a song

                                  G7          C

We'll be together again up yonder in a little while

repeat # 2 & 3
