Judy Collins - How Can I Keep from Singing

CAPO: 4th Fret

[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
F C
My life goes on in endless song
G C G
Above earth's lamentation
C F C
I hear the real, though far off hymn
G C
That hails the new creation

[Verse 2]
G C
Above the tumult and the strife
G
I hear the music ringing
C F C
It sounds an echo in my soul
Am G C
How can I keep from singing?

[Verse 3]
F C
What through the tempest loudly roars
G C G
I hear the truth, it liveth
C F C
What though the darkness round me close
G C
Songs in the night it giveth

[Verse 4]
G C
No storm can shake my inmost calm
G
While to that rock I'm clinging
C F C
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
Am G C
How can I keep from singing?

[Verse 5]
C F C
I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin
G C G
I see the blue above it
C F C
And day by day this pathway clears
G C
Since first I learned to love it

[Verse 6]
G C
The peace of dog restores my soul
G
A fountain ever springing
C F C
All things are mine, since I am loved
Am G C
How can I keep from singing?
