CAPO 1st Fret/KEY: C#/PLAY: C
(C) Too many broken (F) pro-mis-(C) es
Too many trail of (G7) tears
Too many (C) times you were left (F) cold
For (G7) oh so many (C) years.

Too many times you walked away
And was made to feel ashamed
And though you only tried to give
You were often blamed.

How can this world be so dark
So unfair and so untrue
How did the cards of life
Fold right on top of you

God in heaven, hear my prayer
If you are still above
Send the children hopes and dreams
And lots and lots of love.

For (F) this I only ask of you to (C) conquer all their fears
And let them soar like eagles (G7) across the trail of (C) tears
