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.
