[Verse]
G D7 G C G/B Am
In summer there was nothing left to do
G Am C Bm C Am D
But carry on, the way we knew he wanted us to do
Em D C G D
Run the stand and work the farm, sleep exhausted, up at dawn
G D/F# Em D G Am G
No time to think, and so it just went on
[Chorus]
D Em D
It still goes on, it will go on
Em D C G/B G/A G D7 G
In the sharing of a smile, in the caring for a child
C G C D G
Asleep in your arms and dreaming, it still goes on
[Instrumental]
G Am G/B C D
[Verse]
G D7 G C G/B Am
In the autumn it seemed that everything was gone
G Am C Bm C Am D
We turned and all we saw were shades of black and grey and brown
Em D C G D
Empty fields on every hand, silent house and shuttered stand
G D/F# Em D G Am G
Wasn't easy then to think of going on
[Chorus]
D Em D
It still goes on, it will go on
Em D C G/B G/A G D7 G
In the sharing of a smile, in the caring for a child
C G C D G
Asleep in your arms and dreaming, it still goes on
[Instrumental]
G Am G/B C D
[Verse]
G D7 G C G/B Am
But the winter was time for plans and dreaming
G Am C Bm C Am D
Catalogues and endless schemes, ideas that kept us all believing
Em D C G D
We could keep the dream alive and make it grow, not just survive
G D/F# Em D G Am G
Knowing that, drove out the cold and kept us warm
[Chorus]
D Em D
It still goes on, it will go on
Em D C G/B G/A G D7 G
In the sharing of a smile, in the caring for a child
C G C D G
Asleep in your arms and dreaming, it still goes on
[Instrumental]
G Am G/B C D
[Verse]
G D7 G C G/B Am
And the joy of springtime sun is warm and steady
G Am C Bm C Am D
In the greenhouse and the fields, next season's crop is coming ready
Em D C G D
Walking through the door with hoe, I can feel that it's begun
G D/F# Em D G Am G
And in everyone of us it still goes on
[Chorus]
D Em D
It still goes on, it will go on
Em D C G/B G/A G D7 G
In the sharing of a smile, in the caring for a child
C G C D G
Asleep in your arms and dreaming, it still goes on
[Chorus]
D Em D
It still goes on, it will go on
Em D C G/B G/A G D7 G
In the sharing of a smile, in the caring for a child
C G C D G
Asleep in your arms and dreaming, it still goes on
