[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][G][F][C][A]
[Am][Cm][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
If I can [G]help somebody
as they pass along
If I can cheer [C]somebody
with a [G]word or a [C]song
If I can [D]show somebody that
they're traveling wrong
Then my [G]living will not be in vain

[Verse 2]
[G]If I can do my duty
as a Christian ought
If I should [Em]sing [C]salvation
[Em]to the world [A]he wrought
If I can [Am]spread the message
as the [D]Master [Cm]taught
[G]Then my living will [D]not be [G]in vain[Gm]
[G][F][C][A]
[Am][Cm][G]

[Verse 3]
Well, it really doesn't matter most of
the deeds I've done
[C]It really doesn't matter
the prizes I may have won
I'd [D]like for somebody to say
I tried to love someone
[G]When I have to meet [D]my [G]day

[Verse 4]
[G]In the crawl for justice,
I helped somebody run
In the [Em]walk for [C]the hungry,
I fed [A]someone
And in the [Am]march for peace,
tell them I [Cm]played the drum
When [G]I have to meet my [D]day[G]

[Verse 5]
In the crawl [G]for justice,
I helped somebody run
In [Em]the walk [C]for the hungry,
[A]I fed someone
And in the [Am]march for peace,
tell them I [F]played [Cm]the drum
When [G]I have to m[D]eet m[G]y day

[Outro 1]
