[Verse 1]
[D]Thi[G]s[D][Gm][F#dim][F][Em][Ebdim][D][Ab]
[Abm]smile [D]on my fac[Em]e wasn't alw[F#m]ays there
[G]Cause tro[F#]ubles used to get me dow[Bm]n
The [D]hassles and [F#m]problems
from [Bm]every direction
[E]Used to make me wear a [Em]crown
[Asus4]In the midst [D]of the storms[Em]
I found a [F#m]deep contentm[G]ent
To [F#]help me face each night and [Bm]day
[Gm]You see, w[D]orld didn't
give [Em]it to m[D]e,
[Gm]and the [F#]world [F]can't
[G]take it [D]away.[Asus4]
The [D]world didn't [Em]give it to [F#m]me,
[Em]an d[Asus4] the world can[D]'t
[Em]take it [F#m]away.
[Fdim]I said the world[Em]
didn't give it to me,
[Asus4]and the world can[D]'t take it a[Em]way.[F#m]
[Em]This [Asus4]happy fac[D]e that[Em] I'm wearing,[F#m]
[Gm]you know Jesus p[F#]ut it there to stay.
[Bm]And si[Gm]nce the world[F#m]
didn't give it to [F]me
I said the [Em]world can't [Eb]take it away
[Bm]This [A]steppin[Eb]' round life
[Fm]in my feet t[Gm]hat you see
[Ab]Wasn't a[G]lways lively and light[Cm]
But when Je[Eb]sus picked me u[Bb]p
and started [Cm]melodies ringing
[Bb]They alway[F]s come out happy
and [Bb]bright[Bbsus4]
Now [Eb]all I have to [Fm]do is keep
on look[Gm]in' at Him
[Ab]Follow, [G]trust, and then obey[Cm].
[Ab]You see, the w[Eb]orld didn't give it to me,
[Abm]And the wo[G]rld can't ta[Fm]ke it aw[E]ay.
[Bb][Fm][E][Abm][Am][Abm][G][F#m]
[E]
Let [Fm]me tell yo[E]u about the tr[F#m]eas ures
and posses[Abm]sions I came [A]into
[F#m]When I p[Ab]ut him on the throne of my l[C#m]ife.
A [E]conscience that's [Abm]clear
and a fam[C#m]ily that lo[B]ves me
[E]An ant[F#]idote for heartache and strife
[F#m]The wo[Bsus4]rld alway[E]s says
[F#m]that you can'[Abm]t take it with you
[F#m]But my[Ab] riches transfer oka[C#m]y
[A]Cause [Am]the worl[E]d didn't
give [F#m]them to m[E]e
[Am]And the [Abm]world [G]can't [F#m]take them aw[E]ay
The world didn't [F#m]give it to m[Abm]e
[F#m]An d t[Bsus4]he world[E]
can't [F#m]take it away
[Abm]I said t[Gdim]he world did[F#m]n't
give it [Bsus4]to me
You know the [E]world can't
[F#m]take it a[Abm]way
[F#m]This h[E]appy f[F#m]ace that I'm we[Abm]aring
[Am]You know my [Ab]Jesus put it there to stay
[C#m]And sinc[Am]e the world[G#m]
didn't give Him to [G]me
I said the [F#m]world can't take it [E]away
[Am]Hey!
The [G#m]world didn't give it to [G]me
I said the [F#m]world can't [F]take it [E]away
And that's the name of that tune you
