Verse 1:
  G                       Am
A mystery man gave me a talisman
              C                           Em G
He said don't tell no one where you got it
         A
I didn't know what it was
      Am
But I knew what it does
              C            Am
As soon as he put it in my pocket


Verse 2:
    G
But Virgil himself
            Am
Was guiding us through hell
            C             Em
Singing his jingle jangle song
G                A
And I knew right then
               Am
The path we're in
       C               Am
Is the path where we belong

Chorus:
         G
Will the circle
     D
Be unbroken
       C
By and by Lord
       Em
By and by
G        A
Will the circle
     Am
Be unbroken
       C
In the sky Lord
       Am
In the sky


Verse 3:
G
Beautiful faces
Am
Shimmering, painted
C                   Em
Shining in the holy mass
G         A
While the sign on the wall
  Am
Reminded us all
     C                   Am
That yes, this too shall pass


Verse 4:
       G
And we felt no danger
       Am
As the red headed stranger
C                Em
Sang his goodbye tune
G            A
It was bittersweet
               Am
But it felt complete
   C                 Am
So long, and yet, so soon


Chorus:
         G
Will the circle
     D
Be unbroken
       C
By and by Lord
       Em
By and by
G        A
Will the circle
     Am
Be unbroken
       C
In the sky Lord
       Am
In the sky


Verse 5:
      G
I was earnest when I sighed
         Am
You have changed my mind
   C                Em
To you, princess, I bowed
G       A
All the cowboys and hippies
  Am
Residing within me
  C                  Am
I stand between them now


Verse 5:
        G
And the cougar I met
         Am
With his cool cigarette
        C            Em
And his collar up so high
G        A
Makes me proud to be
         Am
From the land of the free
           C                  Am
Though sometimes I don't know why


Chorus:
         G
Will the circle
     D
Be unbroken
       C
By and by Lord
       Em
By and by
G        A
Will the circle
     Am
Be unbroken
       C
In the sky Lord
       Am
In the sky


Verse 6:
G
Six string mercenaries
  Am
I met them carrying
   C               Em
My ragged book and staff
G         A
And their pirate king
     Am
With gusto sings
    C            Am
His song of ages past


Verse 7:
        G
And the grizzled young warrior
         Am
On their final orders
           C               Em
With their anxious torch's flame
      A
Don't we all know
     Am
What once was so
     C         Am
Will never be again


Chorus:
         G
Will the circle
     D
Be unbroken
       C
By and by Lord
       Em
By and by
G        A
Will the circle
     Am
Be unbroken
       C
In the sky Lord
       Am
In the sky
