I'll Carry On
Rich Mullins
Proverbs 1:8-9/2 Timothy 1:3-6
Cno3
Momma, I've got two strong hands
/B Am
And they're fine as far as hands go
F2 C/G C/E Fmaj9
I can shoulder the future, I can face the wind
Am7 Gsus
For the dream that I must follow
C2 F/C G/C C
It's a dream that could kill with its beau - ty
C2 Cmaj7 Am
It's a hurt that can heal with its pain
F2 C2 C2/E Fmaj7
But with all of these miles that lie before me
Am7 Gsus G
I may never get home again


Chorus:
C2 F/C
But I'll carry the songs I learned when we were kids
C2 F/C
I'll carry the scars of generations gone by
Am7 Em F G
I'll pray for you always and I promise you this
Am7 F G Fmaj9
I'll carry on, I'll carry on
I kissed the earth on my daddy's grave
Said goodbye to my brave young companions
But when they hoist that sail I know my heart will break
As bright and as fine as the morning
And I don't know where this road will take me
But they say there's a place there for a man
And I'm only afraid that my dreams may betray me
And I'll never get home again


CHORUS
Am7 F G C
...I'll carry on, I'll carry on
D7 F2 C2
And oh I can shoulder the future, I can brave the wind
D7 F2 Dm9 Gsus G
And oh, we go on, we go on but we never get home again


CHORUS (4x)
Refrain:
And I'll carry the songs (carry the songs)
And I'll carry the scars (carry the scars)
And I'll pray for you always and I promise you this, I'll carry on
REFRAIN (repeat and fade)
