Can The Circle Be Unbroken Chords

   
Chords: Ab, D#, C#
I usually play with a capo on the first fret. If you decide to play that way the 
chord forms that should be played are G for Ab, D for D#, and C for C#.

                                        D#              Ab
and I saw the hearse come rolling for to carry my mother away.
