Lyrics

When (C)ev er I feel a (C9)fraid

I (F)hold my head e rect

and (G7)whis tle a hap py (G)tune,

so (C)no one will sus (G7)pect I’m a (C)fraid.

While shiv er ing in my (C9)shoes,

I (F)strike a care less pose

and (G7)whis tle a hap py (G)tune

and (C)no one ev er (G7)knows I’m a (C)fraid.

The re (Ab)sult of this de cep tion is (C)ver y strange to tell,

for (G)when I fool the (Gm)peo ple I fear, I (D9)fool my self as (G7)well!

I (C)whis tle a hap py (C9)tune

and (F)ev ’ry sin gle time

the (G7)hap pi ness in the tune

con (C)vinc es me that I’m (G7)not a (C)fraid.

(F)Make be lieve you’re brave

and the (C)trick will take you far.

(F)You may be as brave

as you (C)make be lieve you are.

(F)(Whistle)

(D)You may be as brave

as you make be (G7)lieve you (C)are.
