Lyrics
Well, they (Bb)say that it’s a fact,
if you (Eb)watch the sky at night,
and (Eb)if you stare in to the dark ness, you might (Bb)see ce les tial light.
And (F)if your heart is emp ty
and (Gm)there’s no hope in side,
there’s a chance you’ll find an (F)an swer (Eb)in the sky.
Well, they (Bb)say that it’s a shame
if you have (Eb)noth ing to be lieve,
and (Eb)if you can’t hold on to some thing, you might as (Bb)well die where you sleep.
You don’t need a (F)prayer,
and there’s no price to ask why.
Some times you’ll find an an swer (Eb)in the sky.
And it’s all (Ab)so much (Eb)big ger than (Ab)it seems, and it all o ver (Bb)whelms us now and then,
and I’m (Ddim)bank ing on a chance that we be lieve that good can still con trol the hearts of men.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Some times you’ll find an an swer (Eb)in the sky.
And it’s all (Ab)so much
This (Bb)life’s a long old road;
we should n’t (Eb)have to walk a lone.
But (Eb)if you find the right com pan ion, you won’t feel so (Bb)worn out when you’ve grown.
And all life is (F)pre cious,
and ev ’ry day is a prize,
and some times you’ll find an (F)an swer (Eb)in the sky.
Oh, life is (F)pre cious,
and ev ’ry day is a prize,
and some times you’ll find an an swer (Eb)in the sky.
And some times you’ll find an (F)an swer (Eb)in the sky.
And some times you’ll find an (F)an swer (Eb)in the sky.
