The Answer
Recorded by Don Williams

(No Capo)

Intro.:  |(C) / / (Cmaj7/B)|(Am) / (F)(G)| x 2

O're the (C)life of me, you know I (Am)can't recall
My (F)father giving mighty words of (G)wisdom
But the more I (C)live, I see the greatest (Am)gift of all
Is how I (F)always knew for sure, he was (G)listening

(Pre-Chorus)
To a (F)million questions (C)I felt like a (G)fool to ask
When I'd (F)ask him for an (C)answer, he'd just (G)laugh

(Chorus)
And say the (F)more I learn, the more I learn, how (C)little that I know
But I'm (G)close to understanding just how (F)far I have to (C)go
We give our (Am)hearts, we (G)take our (F)chances
And know the (C)fool ain't the (Cmaj7/B)one with all the (Am)questions
To tell the (F)truth it's someone (G)who believes they have the (C)answer

Solo:   / / (Cmaj7/B)|(Am) / (F)(G)|(C) / / (Cmaj7/B)|(Am) / (F)(G)|

In the (C)years since then when my (Am)children come
Pouring (F)out their hearts, this old world has (G)broken
I do the (C)listening, I see what (Am)good it does
When (F)less not more is (G)spoken

(Pre-Chorus)
And when they (F)press me hard to (C)tell them what the (G)answer is
I re-(F)member well and (C)simply offer (G)this

(Chorus)
And say the (F)more I learn, the more I learn, how (C)little that I know
But I'm (G)close to understanding just how (F)far I have to (C)go
We give our (Am)hearts, we (G)take our (F)chances
And know the (C)fool ain't the (Cmaj7/B)one with all the (Am)questions
To tell the (F)truth it's someone (G)who believes they have the (C)answer

(Chorus)
And say the (F)more I learn, the more I learn, how (C)little that I know
But I'm (G)close to understanding just how (F)far I have to (C)go
We give our (Am)hearts, we (G)take our (F)chances
And know the (C)fool ain't the (Cmaj7/B)one with all the (Am)questions
To tell the (F)truth it's someone (G)who believes they have the (C)answer
