Lyrics

With out a (Fmaj7)song

the day would (Bbmaj7)nev er end; with out a (Fmaj7)song

the road would (Bb)nev er bend; when things go (F)wrong

a man ain’t (C7sus)got a (C7)friend, with out a (F)song.

That (C)field of (Fmaj7)corn

would nev er (Bbmaj7)see a plow; that field of (Fmaj7)corn

would be de (Bb)sert ed now; a man is (F)born,

but he’s no (C7sus)good no (C7)how, with out a (F)song.

I (F7)got my (Bb)trou ble and (F7)woe, (Bb)but (F7)sure as I (Bb)know (F7)the (Bb)Jor (C)dan will (F)roll.

(Am)I’ll get a (E7)long (Am7)as (D7)long as a (C)song (G7)is (C)strong (F)in my (C9)soul.

I’ll (C)nev er (Fmaj7)know

what makes the (Bbmaj7)rain to fall; I’ll nev er (Fmaj7)know

what makes the (Bb)grass so tall; I on ly (F)know

there ain’t no (C7sus)love at (C7)all with out a (F)song.
