Farther Along
Randy Travis
Key - Bb
[Verse 1]
            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]
A   D   A   E   A   D   A
[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.
