YOU ASK ME WHY (Chuck Girard)


C
You ask me why I keep on smilin'
                               Dm  G7
When all the world's in such a mess
Dm         G7          Dm             G7
And I just have to say that there is just one way
Dm           G7            C
To find true lasting happiness

C                     
You ask me how I keep my head together
                                 Dm    G7
When this old world is tumbling down
Dm              G7           Dm                  G7
I think you've heard the talk,the talk about the solid rock
Dm               G7                C
He'll keep your feet right on the ground

F              F6     
People try so hard to find
  Fmaj7            F6
A way to gain some peace of mind
         C       (G/C)           C         (G/C)
And they try this......and they try that
Fm      Fm6       Fm7    Fm6      Fm7     Fm       Fm9  Fm
People scream out to be free they cry for love and liberty
          C        C/B       C/A   
Yeah, the words of God could free them
C/G        Dm/F  Dm/E  Dm   F/C    G
If they'd on.....ly....stop to.....hear

C     
You ask me how I keep on smilin'
                                             Dm    G7
When this world looks like it's comin' to an end
Dm              G7        Dm                     G7
Though these be final days, when the Light comes through the haze
Dm            G7             C
A bright new world will just begin
