Tuning:G C E A
Key:D
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G Em A D
[Verse 1]
D G Em
One day a babe was born along the highway
A G D
Just a tiny helpless thing upon the sand
D G Em
And an okie with a dream out on the byway
A G A D
Took the child and held it proudly in his hands
D G Em
And the woman smiles a gentle smile of knowing
A G D
And whispers something softly in his ear
D G Em
Perhaps a little prayer to help the growing
A G A D
Perhaps a word of comfort through the fears
[Chorus]
G Em A D
You can trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
G Em A
You can trust the sun to shine upon the land
G A D G
You take the little that you know and you do the best you can
A D
And you save the rest for the quiet faith of man
[Verse 2]
D G Em
A tractor makes its way along the fence line
A G D
And seeds are dropped precisely in a row
D G Em
If the rains are kind and the winds don't take the topsoil
A G A D
Before too long the crops will start to show
D G Em
The farmer sees the fields around him growin'
A G D
He whispers something low beneath his breath
D G Em
Perhaps a little prayer to help the growin'
A G A D
Perhaps a word of thanks for all the rest
[Chorus]
G Em A D
You can trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
G Em A
You can trust the sun to shine upon the land
G A D G
You take the little that you know and you do the best you can
A D
And you save the rest with the quiet faith of man
[Verse 3]
D G Em
There's a storm tossed ship tonight out on the water*
A G D
There's a soul somewhere alone** out on the blue
D G Em
There's a dreamer with his eyes upon the heavens
A G A D
They're all looking for a way to make it through
[Chorus]
G Em A D
You can trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
G Em A
You can trust the sun to shine upon the land
G A D G
You take the little that you know and you do the best you can
A D
And you save the rest with the quiet faith of man
[Outro]
G Em A D
You can trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
G Em A
You can trust the sun to shine upon the land
G A D G
You take the little that you know and you do the best you can
A D
And you save the rest with the quiet faith of man
