              F                  Bb        F 
Father along we'll know all about it 
              Dm    G7         C7 
Farther along we'll understand why 
             F        Bb          F 
Cheer up  my brother  live in the sunshine 
             Dm            C7         F    Bb   F  C7 
We'll understand it        all by and by

When we see Jesus coming in glory 
                   Dm     G7        C7 
When he comes from his    home in the sky 
              F        Bb        F 
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion 
             Dm      C7         F 
We'll understand it  all by and by
