CAPO III

INTRO: D

D G

I've been thinkin' lately about the Other Side

Asus2 D

Wonderin' where my daddy went the day he died

D G

Lookin' at my daughters and my two young sons

Asus2 D

Wishin' I could live to see what they become

D G

Don't you cry, children don't you cry

Asus2 D

Don't you cry, my children don't you cry

D G

We have to pay the piper don't you understand

Asus2 D

The day your daddy dies a boy becomes a man

There's no justice for the rigtheous or the wicked either one

And the questions will be answered by my daughters or my sons

So don't you cry, children don't you cry

I'll see you in the sweet by and by

BREAK

I've been starin' at tomorrow knowin' it might never come

I've been talkin' about salvation, thinkin' I might get me some

It's so hard to beat the devil when he don't play by the rules

And I know that the Savior has a special place for fools

D G

So don't you cry, children don't you cry

Asus2 D

Don't you cry, children don't you cry

I won't cry, father I won't cry

I was with you when my grandpa died

And I'll see him on the other side

We'll all meet in the sweet by and by

Now don't cry son, don't cry

Wipe those teardrops from your eyes

I'll see you in the sweet by and by

So don't cry, son please don't cry
