Guitar: All My Trials (Including lyrics and chords)

All My Trials was a folk song during the social protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s. It is based on a Bahamian lullaby that tells the story of a mother on her death bed, comforting her children, "Hush little baby, don't you cry./You know your mama's bound to die," because, as she explains, "All my trials, Lord,/Soon be over." The message — that no matter how bleak the situation seemed, the struggle would "soon be over" — propelled the song to the status of an anthem, recorded by many of the leading artists of the era.
I am now looking at lists of songs by artists I have enjoyed over the years and came across this one in a list of songs by The Seekers, although it was (as stated above) covered by many artists at the time, prominent among them being Pete Seeger and Joan Baez
