Intro:  C  C9  C  F  F9  F

  C                                         C9
He hasn't seen a drop of rain for months it seems
F                                         F9
Rollin' river is nothing but a trickling stream
    C                               C9
The crops are dying in the harsh sunlight
F                          F9
The dust on his tongue is dry
   Am                               F
The fatted calf is down to skin and bones
        C  C9  C
We carry on

 C                                    C9
Alone in the city and she's only seventeen
        F                                    F9
The boy left her black and blue in the street so mean
     C                                         C9
Just twelve weeks along and she's got a life inside
F                               F9
Says she's never ever felt so alone
Am                                   F
She walks in the shelter, they say "welcome home"


Chorus:
            C
And we carry on
Dm        C/E    F
When our lives come undone
        C
We carry on
Dm               C/E         F
Cause there's promise in the morning sun
        Am
We carry on
                      F           C/E
As the dark surrenders to the dawn
       Bb             F
We were born to overcome
        C
We carry on

          F
Beyond the picket fences and the oil wells
   C
The happy endings and the fairy tales
G                                      Dm
Is the reality of shattered lives and broken dreams
        C  C9  C        F  F9  F (x2)  Bb F
We carry on       Carry on



         C                               C9
It's the family that grieves for a lost loved one
         F                                     F9
It's the soldier who won't leave til the job is done
         C                               C9
It's the addict trying to turn his life around
     F
It's picking yourself off the ground when you've been knocked down


CHORUS (x2)

C  C9  C  F  F9  F

    C                                          C9
He stands in the field, cooled by the winds of change
     F                                     F9
She smiles as her baby moves and it starts to rain
