I'm not 100% sure about all the chords, but for the most part
they sound alright. It's pretty close to what you hear on the CD.
INTRO: A D7 A D7
A D7 A D7
A E
A
Smile though your heart is aching
Amaj7
Smile even though it's breaking
F#m D/F# Bm F#
Though there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
E F# Bm A Dm
If you smile through your fears and sorrows
Dm E A
Smile and maybe tomorrow
A F#m Bm
You'll see the sun come shining through
E A
If you just light up your face with gladness
Amaj7
Hide every trace of sadness
F#m D/F# Bm F#
Although a tear may be ever, ever so near
E F# Bm A Dm
That's the time you must keep on trying
Dm E A
Smile, what's the use of crying
A F#m Bm
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
E A
If you just smile
A
Come on and smile
SOLO: use verse chords
(F#m, D/F#, Bm ...)
ENDING:
A D7 A D7
ooh ooh, ooh ooh
A E
ooh ooh
A
If you just smile
