Quiet Faith Of Man     Bill Staines

A (D)baby child is (D/F#)born along the (G)highway,  (Em)
A (A)tiny little (G)thing u(A)pon the (D)land
An okie with his (D/F#)dreams out on the (G)byway  (Em)
He (A)lifts the tiny (G)baby (A) in his (D)hand.  (D4)(D)
The woman smiles a (D/F#)little smile of (G)knowing  (Em)
And (A)whispers something (G)softly(A) in his (D)ear,
Perhaps a little (D/F#)prayer to help the (G)growing,  (Em)
Per(A)haps a word of (G)comfort (A) through the (D)fears.

You (G)trust the moon to (A)move the mighty (D)ocean,
You (G)trust the (G/F#)sun to (Em)shine upon the (A)land,
Take the (G)little that you (A)know and you (D)do the (D/C#)best you (Bm)can,
You (G)see the rest with the (A)quiet faith of (D)man.      (G)  (G/F#)  (Em)  (A)  (D)

Now a tractor makes its (D/F#)way along the (G)fence line  (Em)
And (A)drops the seeds pre(G)cisely(A) in a (D)row,
If the rains are kind and the (D/F#)winds don't take the (G)topsoil,  (Em)
Be(A)fore too long the (G)crops will (A)start to (D)show.
The farmer sees the (D/F#)fields around him (G)growin',  (Em)
He (A)whispers something (G)low be(A)neath his (D)breath,
Perhaps a little pray(D/F#)er to help the (G)growin',  (Em)
Per(A)haps a word of (G)thanks for (A)all the (D)rest.

And you (G)trust the moon to (A)move the mighty (D)ocean,
And you (G)trust the (G/F#)sun to (Em)shine upon the (A)land,
Take the (G)little that you (A)know and you (D)do the (D/C#)best you (Bm)can,
You (G)see the rest with the (A)quiet faith of (D)man.      (G)  (G/F#)  (Em)  (A)  (D)

There's a storm tossed ship to(D/F#)night out on the (G)ocean,  (Em)
There's a (A)soul somewheres a(G)drift out (A)in the (D)blue.
There's a dreamer with his (D/F#)eyes upon the (G)heavens,  (Em)
They're all (A)lookin' for a (G)way to (A)make it (D)through.

And you (G)trust the moon to (A)move the mighty (D)ocean,
And you (G)trust the (G/F#)sun to (Em)shine upon the (A)land,
Take the (G)little that you (A)know and you (D)do the (D/C#)best you (Bm)can,
You (G)see the rest with the (A)quiet faith of (D)man. Alright!
And you (G)trust the moon to (A)move the mighty (D)ocean,
And you (G)trust the (G/F#)sun to (Em)shine upon the (A)land,
Take the (G)little that you (A)know and you (D)do the (D/C#)best you (Bm)can,
You (G)see the rest with the (A)quiet faith of (D)man.      (G)  (G/F#)  (Em)  (A)  (D)      
(G)  (G/F#)  (Em)  (A)  (D)
