Chord/Tab song: You Ask Me Why

YOU ASK ME WHY (Chuck Girard)

[C]You ask me why I keep on smilin'
When all the world's in such a [Dm]mess[G7]
[Dm]And I just [G7]have to say [Dm]that there is j[G7]ust one way
[Dm]To find true [G7]lasting happin[C]ess

[C]You ask me how I keep my head together
When this old world is tumbling d[Dm]own[G7]
[Dm]I think you've h[G7]eard the talk[Dm],the talk about the [G7]solid rock
[Dm]He'll keep your f[G7]eet right on the g[C]round

[F]People try so h[F6]ard to find
A [Fmaj7]way to gain some [F6]peace of mind
And they [C]try this[(G/C)]......and they t[C]ry that[(G/C)]
[Fm]People s[Fm6]cream out [Fm7]to be f[Fm6]ree they [Fm7]cry for [Fm]love and [Fm9]liber[Fm]ty
Yeah, the [C]words of [C/B]God could [C/A]free them
[C/G]If they'd o[Dm/F]n.....[Dm/E]ly....[Dm]stop [F/C]to.....[G]hear

[C]You ask me how I keep on smilin'
When this world looks like it's comin' to an [Dm]end[G7]
[Dm]Though these be [G7]final days[Dm], when the Light comes [G7]through the haze
[Dm]A bright new w[G7]orld will just [C]begin
