Farther Along

D
Tempted and tried we’re,
G           D
oft made to wonder

Why it should be thus,
E7          A
all the day long
                D
While there are others,
G            D
living about us

Never molested,
A             D
though in the wrong

When death has come and,
G         D
taken our loved ones

It leaves a home so,
E7         A
lonely and drear

Then do we wonder,
G          D
why others prosper

Living so wicked,
A          D
year after year


[Chorus]

Farther along we'll,
G        D
know all about it

Farther along we'll,
E7         A
understand why
 .           D
Cheer up, my brother,
G           D
live in the sunshine

We'll understand it,
A          D
all by and by


[Verse 2]

Faithful 'til death said,
G               D
our loving master

A few more days to,
E7         A
labour and wait
             D
Toils of the road will,
G            D
then seem as nothing

As we sweep through the,
A             D
beautiful gates

Chorus]

Farther along we'll,
G              D
know all about it

Farther along we'll,
E7         A
understand why
             D
Cheer up, my brother,
G           D
live in the sunshine


We'll understand it,
A          D
all by and by

Yes we’ll understand it,
A          D
all by And by
