[Verse 1]
A D A
Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder
E7
Why it should be thus all the day long
A D A
While there are others living about us
E7 A
Never molested though in the wrong
[Chorus]
A D A
Farther along we'll know all about it
E7
Farther along we'll understand why
A D A
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
E7 A
We'll understand it all by and by
[Riff]

[Verse 2]
A D A
When death has come and taken our loved ones
A E7
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
A D A
Then do we wonder why others prosper
E7 A
Living so wicked year after year
[Chorus]
A D A
Farther along we'll know all about it
E7
Farther along we'll understand why
A D A
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
E7 A
We'll understand it all by and by
