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


[Chorus]
       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


[Instrumental]
Gm F Gm F C


[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


[Chorus]
       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


[Chorus]
       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
