Jerry Jeff Walker – Quiet Faith Of Man (Guitar)

   C             Em             F        Dm
A baby child is born along the highway

   G            F              C
A tiny little thing upon the land

    C             Em                F     Dm
An okie with his dreams out on the byway

G           F    G           C
Lifts the tiny baby in his hand

      C              Em             F       Dm
The woman smiles a little smile of knowing

      G                   F           C
And whispers something softly in his ear

    C                  Em             F       Dm
Perhaps a little prayer to help the growing

   G               F        G           C
Perhaps a word of comfort through the fears

      F                G                C
You trust the moon to move the mighty ocean

      F       Am       Dm             G
You trust the sun to shine upon the land

      F               G          C                Am
The little that you know and you do the best you can

     F                     G              C
You see the rest with the quiet faith of man

       C                Em             F         Dm
Now a tractor makes its way along the fence line

     G                  F           C
And drops the seeds precisely in a row

         C                      Em                   F     Dm
If the rains are kind and the winds don't take the topsoil

  G                   F         G         C
Before too long the crops will start to show

     C                Em                F         Dm
The farmer sees the fields around him growin'

     G                 F      G         C
He whispers something low beneath his breath

   C               Em                 F         Dm
Perhaps a little prayer to help the growin'

  G                  F        G       C
Perhaps a word of thanks for all the rest

      F                G                C
You trust the moon to move the mighty ocean

          F       Am      Dm             G
And you trust the sun to shine upon the land

           F              G           C               Am
Take the little that you know and you do the best you can

     F                     G              C
You see the rest with the quiet faith of man

   C                         Em                 F        Dm
There's a storm tossed ship tonight out on the ocean

           G                F        G      C
There's a soul somewhere adrift out on the blue

           C                Em             F     Dm
There's a dreamer with his eyes upon the heavens

 G                         F      G        C
They're all looking for a way to make it through

      F                G                C
You trust the moon to move the mighty ocean

          F       Am       Dm             G
And you trust the sun to shine upon the land

          F               G          C                Am
Take the little that you know and you do the best you can

     F                     G              C
You see the rest with the quiet faith of man

      F                G                C
You trust the moon to move the mighty ocean

          F       Am       Dm             G
And you trust the sun to shine upon the land

          F               G           C               Am
Take the little that you know and you do the best you can

     F                     G              C
You see the rest with the quiet faith of man
