Judy Collins – How Can I Keep From Singing (Guitar)

                   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

          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?

                         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

             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?

  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

             G     C
The peace of God 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?
