Chords with lyrics

Intro:

C majorC FF x2

Verse:
    C majorC          FF
In this world I've gained my knowledge,
  C majorC       FF
And for it had to pay,
  G+G           FF
And though I never went to college,
   C majorC         FF
I've heard the wise men say,
    C majorC       FF
Life is like a mighty river,
    C majorC       FF
Rolling on from day to day,
    G+G        FF
Men are vessels launched upon it,
     C majorC        FF
Sometimes wrecked and cast away.

Chorus:
    C majorC      G+G
Do your best for one another,
    A minorAm       FF
When you're slipping in between,
    C majorC       G+G
Help a worn And weary brother,
    A minorAm        FF
Pulling hard against the stream
    FF        C majorC    FF
Pulling hard against the stream

Verse:

C majorC              FF
Many a bright, good-hearted fellow,
    C majorC      FF
Many a noble-minded man
   G+G        FF
Finds himself in water shallow,
     C majorC          FF
Then come on - help him if you can.
   C majorC        FF
Some succeed at every turning,
    C majorC       FF
Fortune favours every scheme
    G+G        FF
Others, too, though more deserving.
    C majorC           FF
Have to pull hard against the stream.

Chorus:
    C majorC      G+G
Do your best for one another,
    A minorAm       FF
When you're slipping in between,
    C majorC       G+G
Help a worn And weary brother,
    A minorAm        FF
Pulling hard against the stream
    FF        C majorC    FF
Pulling hard against the stream

Verse:

    C majorC        FF
If the wind is in your favour,
      C majorC        FF
And you've weathered every storm,
     G+G          FF
Think of those who, luckless, labour,
   C majorC         FF
Never get fair winds at all.

Chorus:
    C majorC      G+G
Do your best for one another,
    A minorAm       FF
When you're slipping in between,
    C majorC       G+G
Help a worn And weary brother,
    A minorAm        FF
Pulling hard against the stream
    FF        C majorC
Pulling hard against the stream
