G - C9 - G - D
G C9 G
The world can kick you when you’re down
D
And it shows no mercy
G C9 G
It makes them smile to see you frown
D
But just wait and they will see
G C9 G
This would kill the weaker man
D
But it’s been keeping me alive
G C9 G
Through all the negativity
D Em
Somehow I know I will survive
Am C
And when the clouds have all passed by
F
They’ll see we’ll both be standin’
C Am
When sunshine turned to gray
F D9 (or Dm)
You saved me in my darkest hour
C Am
You stood by me and stayed
F D9
You gave me all my strength and power
G - C9 - G - D
We’ve seen the others come and go
Through the thick and through the thin
And when we thought of lettin’ go
Em
Somehow we knew we’d always win
Am C
And when the dust finally settles
F
We will both be still standin’
C Am
When sunshine turned to gray
F D9 (or Dm)
You saved me in my darkest hour
C Am
You stood by me and stayed
F D9
You gave me all my strength and power
E Am C
And when I was left for dead
F E
And everybody turned away
Am C
I heard every word you said
F C
And you helped me to set me free
C - F - C - F
C Am
When sunshine turned to gray
F D9 (or Dm)
You saved me in my darkest hour
C Am
You stood by me and stayed
F D9
You gave me all my strength and power
C Am
And when sunshine turn to gray
F D9
In my darkest hour
C Am
You stood by me and stayed
F D9
Stay with me, my guiding angel.
