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

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.

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

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

Come on and smile
