SMILE
Eric Clapton

from the album "Time Pieces Vol.2" (1983)


transcribed by Steve Garner (s_garner@hotmail.com)


I'm not 100% sure about all the chords, but for the most part
they sound alright. It's pretty close to what you hear on the CD.

A
Smile though your heart is aching
Amaj7
Smile even though it's breaking
F#m                D/F#        Bm              F#
Though there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
E  F#   Bm                              A  Dm
If you smile through your fears and sorrows
Dm                   E  A
Smile and maybe tomorrow
A              F#m                Bm
You'll see the sun come shining through
   E          A
If you just light up your face with gladness
Amaj7
Hide every trace of sadness
F#m         D/F#          Bm          F#
Although a tear may be ever, ever so near
E      F#   Bm                       A  Dm
That's the time you must keep on trying
Dm                           E  A
Smile, what's the use of crying
A                F#m               Bm
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
  E          A
If you just smile
A
Come on and smile


SOLO: use verse chords
(F#m, D/F#, Bm ...)


ENDING:

A   D7   A   D7
ooh ooh, ooh ooh
A    E
ooh ooh
             A
If you just smile
