Tom: Em
G C G
Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder
A7 D
Why it should be thus all the day long;
G C G
While there are others living about us,
D G C G
Never molested, though in the wrong.
[Chorus]
G C G
Farther along we'll know all about it.
A7 D
Farther along we'll understand why.
G C G
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine;
D G C G
We'll understand it all by and by.
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
A D A
When death has come and taken our loved ones
B7 E
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
A D A
Then do we wonder why others prosper;
E A D A
Living so wicked year after year
A D A
Farther along we'll know all about it.
B7 E
Farther along we'll understand why.
A D A
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine;
E A D A
We'll understand it all by and by.
[Verse 3]
B E B
When we see Jesus coming in glory,
D#6 F#
When he comes down from his home in the sky.
B E B
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion,
F# B E B
We'll understand it all by and by.
[Outro]
B E B
Farther along we'll know all about it.
D#6 F#
Farther along we'll undrstand why.
B E B
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
F# B E B
We'll understand it all by and by.
E B F# B E B
Yes, we'll understand it all by and by.
