Chords for "I DON'T REGRET A MILE" - Howard & Vestal Goodman

_ _ After I [C] lost my two brothers, I _ _ _ [F] _ was just kind of like maybe Brock Spear was when he lost his parents.
_ He just nearly [Dm] gave up [Bb] _
and didn't want to sing.
_ [G] But _ [Cm] he got a hold of one of Bill Gaither's great [F] songs, _ and [B] I believe it was The King Is Coming.
And the more they sung it, [Bb] the more it helped him.
[C] But I told Bill, I said, Bill, _ he wanted me [Eb] to sing something somewhere.
And I said, I just _ _ [F] _ _ can't sing.
I just [Fm] feel like I've [Bb] lost my song, you [Dm] know.
_ [Bbm] Oh, he said, Howard, yes, [Db] you can.
You [Am] can sing again.
Then I began to kind of reminisce over [C] little things that I had _ [Bb] _ written back _ _ [F] many years ago when I had some problems.
_ And the [Bb] title was I Don't Regret a Mile.
_ [F] I've Traveled for the Lord.
And I began to [Gm] kind of hum over that.
And, [Dm] you know, it seemed like the spirit _ spoke to me and said, [Bb] well, do you, is that true?
_ [F] Do you really regret it or not?
_ _ But [G] then _ _ [C] that kind of helped me, you know.
[Bb] And after losing them [F] and a lot of [G] disappointments in life, _ but [Cm] I still didn't _ regret _ [F]
The Mile.
I've Traveled. _ _ _
I don't _ _ regret a _ mile. _ _ _ _
[Bb] I've [F] traveled _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _

in [F] His [Dm] Word.

_ [F] I've seen _ _ [Am] _ _

But [Am] enough of my [F] _ dreams [Dm]
have [Am] come true _ [F] _ to make [C] me keep _ [Dm] dreaming on. _ _
_ _ _ [F] I've prayed many a prayer, _ _ [G] _ _ seen [Gm] no answer would [Dm] come, _ [C] _ though I'd waited [F] so patient and [Am] long. _

_ _ _ _ [Bb] I've sown many a [F] seed _ _ that's [Am] felled by the wayside _ [Dm] for _ the birds [Db] to feed upon.
_ _ _ [F] _
_ [C] But I've held [Bb] enough gold and [C]
sheaves [F] in my hands _ to make me keep sowing [Bb] on. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ I've trusted many a friend _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ that's left me _ and _ _ [Dm] left me to weep alone. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] But enough of my friends [Bb]
have been true [F] blue _ to [C] make me keep [F] trusting on. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I've drained the [A] cup [G] of _ disappointment and pain, [Gm] _ [Dm] _ gone [Gm] many a day [F] without a song.
[C] _ _
Oh, [Dm] but I've sipped enough nectar [F] _
[Bb] from the roses [F] of life _ [Bb] to make me [C] want _ to [F] live on.
