   Intro: D-Gm-D-Gm 

  D             Gm                 D      Am-D7  
   Life is not all that bad, my friend, hmmm 
            G 
   If you believe in yourself 
            A 
   If you believe there's someone 
         F#m 
   Who walks through life with you 
  B             Em 
   You'll never be alone 
            A 
   Just learn to reach out, 
        F#m 
   And open your heart 
  B         Em 
   Lift up hands to God, 
         A                 D 
   And He'll show you the way. 

                Chorus 
      Am   D7    G              A/G 
   And He said, "Cast your burdens upon Me 
                  F#m          B 
   Those who are heavily laden, 
           Em                      A 
   Come to Me, all of you who are tired 
                  D        Am-D7- 
   Of carrying heavy loads, 
            G                       A/G 
   For the yoke I will give you is easy 
            F#m           B 
   And My burden is light 
           Em     A                 D 
   Come to Me and I will give you rest." 

   Interlude: D-Gm 

  D                   Gm 
   When you feel the world 
                D      Am-D7 
   Is tumblin' down on you, 
                G 
   And you have no one 
             A           F#m-B 
   That you can hold on to, 
                  Em 
   Just face the rising sun 
           A 
   And you'll see hope, 
                 F#m          B 
   And there's no need to run 
                  Em 
   Lift up your hands to God, 
        A                        D 
   And He'll make you feel all right.
