Farther Along

A            D     D7    G           D
 Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder,
G             D  Bm   E           A    A7
Why it should be thus all the day long.
                D D7   G       D
While there are others living about us,
G       D  Bm  A             D     G D/F# Em D
Never molested though in the wrong.

[Chorus]

A7        D    D7    G         D
 Farther along we'll know all about it.
G        D    Bm    E          A   A7
Farther along we'll understand why.
            D  D7    G           D
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
G          D     Bm A          D  G D/F# Em D
We'll understand it all by and by.

[Verse 2]

A7              D    D7  G         D
 When death has come and taken our loved ones,
G             D     Bm E          A     A7
It leaves our homes so lonely and drear.
           D  D7  G          D
Then do we wonder why others prosper,
G         D  Bm  A          D    G D/F# Em D
Living so wicked year after year.

[Chorus]

A7        D    D7    G         D
 Farther along we'll know all about it.
G        D    Bm    E          A   A7
Farther along we'll understand why.
            D  D7    G           D
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
G          D     Bm A          D  G D/F# Em D
We'll understand it all by and by.

[Verse 3]

A7           D D7  G         D
 When we see Jesus coming in glory,
G             D    Bm       E           A
When he comes down from his home in the sky.
B             E    E7  A              E
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion,
A          E     C#m  B          E  A  E
We'll understand it   all by and by.

[Outro]

Farther along we'll know all about it.
A        E    C#m   F#7        B
Farther along we'll understand why.
            E  E7    A           E
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
A          E     C#m  B          E  A  E
We'll understand it   all by and by.
      A          E     C#m  B          A   E
Yeah, we'll understand it   all by and by.
