verse 1 
F                 C 
Seven years old upon my knees 
       Dm              Am7 
On the third row pew, trying to see 
   Bb                     F           C 
My grandmamma sing In the Sweet By and By 
   F                    C 
It wasn't the sweetest soundin' thing 
            Dm                   Am7 
But there's somethin' about when grandmamma sang 
     Bb                       F              C 
That moved your feet, stirred something up inside 

Pre-Chorus 
   Dm 
To see her grin from ear to ear 
F 
One thing for sure was very clear 
     Dm 
This wasn't just a song 
           Eb 
It was her life 


[Refrão]

       F            C 
In the sweet by and by 
        Gm                      Bb 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore 
       F           Bb Gm 
In the sweet by and by 
         F            C         Bb 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore

verse 2 
    F                     C    
Now times have changed to say the least 
   Dm                    Am7 
My grandmamma's voice, a memory 
     Bb                F                   C 
Just like the old song said, she's on that shore 
    F                C 
And if she's looking down on me 
  Dm                  Am7 
I hope she's proud of what she sees 
      Bb               F                 C 
Cause thanks to her I'm walkin' with the Lord 

Pre-Chorus 
Dm 
Oh to hear her once again 
F                        C 
Wrap herself around that hymn 
Dm                                 Eb 
Lord, If I could just go back once more 


[Refrão]
 
       F            C 
In the sweet by and by 
        Gm                      Bb 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore 
       F           Bb Gm 
In the sweet by and by 
         F            C         Bb 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore 

Bridge

          Dm                      Am 
There's a land that is fairer than day 
   Bb                  Gm 
By faith we can see it afar 
        Dm                    Am 
For the Father waits over the way 
      Bb        C 
To prepare us a dwelling place there 
   Bb                     Gm    F C 
Oh I can hear her singing along 


[Refrão]
 
       F            C 
In the sweet by and by 
        Gm                      Bb 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore 
       F           Bb Gm 
In the sweet by and by 
         F            C  
We shall meet on that beautiful--- 
F            C 
Sweet by and by 
        Gm                      Bb 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore 
       F           Bb Gm 
In the sweet by and by 
         F            C         Bb 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore 
         F            C         Bb 
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
