Martina McBride – For These Times (Ukulele)

          C                                 F/C
In these times in which we live, where the worst of what we live

    F/C                                        C
Is laid out for all the world on the front page

         C                                  F/C
And the sound of someone's heartbreak is a soundbite at the news break

        F/C                                         C
With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face

C7                        F
Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye

     Am7      G                                   C    F/C
And stops to pray, for these times in which we live

          C                              F/C
In these most uncertain hours where the balance of power

       F                          C
Is a fight that is fought every day

      C                         F/C
And freedom is a word, some cry out and some whisper

     F                                 C
And some are just too quick to give away

C7                       F
Blessed be the one who stands by the one

        Am7      G                               C
On the battle line, for these times in which we live

      Dm7  F        Am7          G 
Well give  me a heart full of ten-der mercy

     F   Am7     Dm7   F
And arms I will open wide

            C                                   F/C
For these times in which we live seems like the only answer is

 F                            C
Givin' up on findin' one at all

        C                            F/C
And we hide behind unsure, pull the blinds and lock the doors

     F                               C
And hang a pleasant picture on the wall

C7                                  F
Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer

        Am7              G                                   C
And the only breath of life, for these times in which we live

      Dm7  F        Am7          G 
Well give  me a heart  full of ten-der mercy

     F   Am7     Dm7   F
And arms I will open wide

      Dm7   F  Am7            G 
Yeah, give me words full of loving kindness

     F     Am7      Dm7        F
And hands ready to hold up a light

                               C   F/C
For these times in which we live

                               C   F/C
For these times in which we live

C                 F/C      C      F/C
  Blessed be the child oh-oh

C                F/C                C     F/C
Yea-yea-yea-yea-yeah-ah, for these times

      C         F/C                C    F/C
Everybody just stop and pray, yea-yeah

C
  For these times in which we live.
