Courage Of Love     Jerry Jeff Walker

(Am)    (E)    (C)    (E7/B)    (Fj7)        (E)    
A (Am)love for others (E7)shouldn't lack in (Am)courage,
Or shadows thicked in (E7)anger hold you (Am)down.
Your (Fj7)love is always traveling there be(Am)side you,
(Fj7)With the strength to (Em7)turn this world a(Am)round.
  (E)    (C)    (E7/B)    (Fj7)        (E)    

(Am)In your mind you're (E7)free and love can (Am)blossom,
In solitude you (E7)cultivate its (Am)range.
You (Fj7)have inside a life all men have (Am)dreamed of,
You (Fj7)seek to make it (Em7)happen in your (Am)day.
  (E)    (C)    (E7/B)    (Fj7)        (E)    

But (Am)on the street you (E7)meet with strung e(Am)motions,
You've more respect for (E7)him than he him(Am)self.
Your (Fj7)open gift of love for him's con(Am)fusing,
But (Fj7)love transcends, while (Em7)hatred fools it(Am)self.
  (E)    (C)    (E7/B)    (Fj7)        (E)    

Ah, the (Am)way you live each (E7)thought is how you're (Am)moving,
The direction of your (E7)dreams is where you (Am)go.
The (Fj7)courage of your love to have im(Am)portance
Is (Fj7)all you really (Em7)need or have to (Am)show.
  (E)    (C)    (E7/B)    (Fj7)        (E)    
 - Instrumental verse with tag - 

A (Am)love for others (E7)shouldn't lack in (Am)courage,
Or shadows thicked in (E7)anger hold you (Am)down.
Your (Fj7)love is always traveling there be(Am)side you,
(Fj7)With the strength to (Em7)turn this world a(Am)round.
  (E)    (C)    (E7/B)    (Fj7)        (E)    (Am)
