In Spite Of The Storm Chords by Freemans

_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ I've [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
been sailing against life's terrible _ contrary [Bb] winds.
_ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _
[C] My mast [G] often reaps and it [C] shrinks, _ sometimes _
[F] _ even _ bends.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] I'm laden with burdens, the heaviest _ _ [Bb] life's ever bore.
_ [G] But _ _ _ [Gm] _ though [C] I'm breathing in [G] rock, _ _
[C] I'm a few waves from docking,
[G] _ still [C] sailing in spite [F] of the storm. _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] In spite of the storm, _ I feel his hand on [F] the wheel. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So [C] I'll keep this old boat _ afloat till he whispers, [F] be still. _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [F] _ And [Bb] if I have to hold on to ride out these waves,
though I'm leathered and _ [F] weathered and _ worn, _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[C] until I drop anchor [Gm] in Paradise [C] Bay,
I'm still sailing in spite [F] of the [C] storm. _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ My old compass is working, _ guiding through _ currents [C] and strains. _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ That [D] old book's never [A] failing [D] as I'm sailing my vessel [G] by _ _ _ _ [A]
face.
_ _ [D] Through the [G] thick of the fog, _ I'll wait for the sound _
[C] of the _ horn. _
[Am] _ _ _ Rain _
[D] and _ [Am] thunder, [D] it can't take me under.
[Am]
I'm still sailing [D] in spite of [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] _ _ the storm. _
I feel his hand on [G] the wheel. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So [D] I'll keep this old boat _ afloat till he whispers, [G] be _ _ _ _
[Dm] still.
_ [G] _ And [C] if I have to hold on to ride out these waves,
though I'm leathered and _ [G] weathered and _ [D] worn, _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] until I drop anchor _
[Am] in Paradise [D] Bay,
I'm still sailing in spite of [G] the storm. _ _
[D] Though I'm reeling and rocking [Am] just a few [D] waves from docking,
_ _ I'm still sailing in spite of [G] the storm.
[Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Em] _
[Eb] In spite of the _
[G] storm. _ _ _ _
