This song is is in the key of C, but Smith tunes down a step on his guitar, so he fingers a D t play a C.
will show the actual chord and sound first, but in () is the tuned down chord Smith actually plays.
Intro:
[Fm(Gm)] [C(D)] [Ab(Bb)] [Bb] [add9(C] [add9)] [Am(Bm)] [D7(E7)] [G(A)]
We're [Fm(Gm)]passengers a[C(D)]board the train
[Ab(Bb)]Silent little [Bb]lam[add9(C]bs amid[add9)]st the pain
[Am(Bm)]That's no [D7(E7)]longer good e[G(A)]nough
And [Fm(Gm)]when it's time to [C(D)]speak our faith
We [Ab(Bb)]use a language [Bb]no [add9(C]one can[add9)] explain
[Am(Bm)]That's no [D7(E7)]longer good e[G(A)]nough
And [E7(F#7)]God knows it's a [F(G)]shame
'Cause if we [D7(E7)]look to pass the blame
We are [C(D)]not the worthy bearers of His [Gsus4(Asus4)]name[G(A)]
Chorus:
For the [C(D)]world to know the truth
[Gm7(Am7)]There can be no greater proof
Than to [Bb]liv[add9(C]e the l[add9)]ife, [F(G)]live the life
There's no [C(D)]love that's quite as pure
[Gm7(Am7)]There's no pain we can't endure
If we [Bb]liv[add9(C]e the l[add9)]ife, [F(G)]live the life
Be a [Dm(Em)]light for all to [Bb]see[add9(C] [add9)]
For [Dm(Em)]every act of love will set you [C(D)]free
There's something beautiful and bold
The power of a million human souls
Come together as one
And each, in turn, goes out to lead
Another by His word, His love, His deed
Now the circle is done
It all comes back to one
For it is He and He alone
Who has lived the only perfect life we've known
Solo:
If you tuned down to the D formation, move everything up 2 frets
