You walked with me,

and (Bbm)helped me un der stand

Then I (Ab)heard you (Db)say…

I pro mise (Ab)you

I’m al ways (Db)there

(Ab)when your heart is filled with (Bbm7)sor row and des (Ebsus4)-

I’ll (Ab)car ry (Db)you

when you (Eb)need a (Fm)friend.

You’ll find my foot prints (Eb)in

the sand.

I see my life

(Ab)flash a cross the sky;

so (Bbm)man y times have I

been so a

(Db)fraid.

And just when I,

I (Ab)thought I lost my way

you (Bbm)gave me strength to car ry on, that’s (Ebsus4)when I heard you say…

(Db)I prom ise (Ab)you

I’m al ways (Db)there

(Ab)when your heart is filled with (Bbm7)sor row and des (Ebsus4)-

I’ll (Ab)car ry (Db)you

when you (Eb)need a (Fm)friend.

You’ll find my foot prints (Eb)in

the sand.

When I’m (E)wea ry,

well, I know you’ll (D)be there and (A)I

can feel (E)you (F#m)when (E)you (D)say.

I prom ise (B)you

I’m al ways (E)there

(B)when your (C#m7)heart is filled with (C#m7)sad ness and des (F#sus4)pair.

I’ll (B)car ry (E)you

when you (F#)need a (G#m7)friend

you’ll find my foot prints in

I’ll (B)car ry (E)you

when you (F#)need a (G#m7)friend

you’ll find my foot prints in

You’ll find my foot prints (F#)in

the sand.
