Crooked Still - When Sorrow Encopasses Me 'Round chords
Start Jamming...
[Eb] When sorrows encompass me, man, and many distresses I see
Astonished, a crack and a motor will be found, surrounded with troubles like me
These seasons of peace I enjoy, and may I succeed in [Bb] that pain
[Eb] If there are few moments of praise [Db] I employ, [Eb] I have hours and days to complain
Oh, when will my sorrows subside?
Oh, when will my suffering [Bb] cease?
When will I meet [Eb] with the love [Db] of my comeback?
Through the mansions of [Eb] glory and [Db] bliss
[Ebm]
[Bb] [Ab] [Gb]
[Ebm] [Eb] I skewer it to glory and blame, even though [Ab] I'm [Bbm] ground
I wish not a [Eb] tear at my grave [Db] to be shed, [Eb] but all [Bbm] joy and praise in [Eb] a bound
[Bb] If souls disembodied [Bbm]
can't know, oh, visit their brethren below
[Eb] My spirit shall join you while [Db] singing, I go and [Ab] leave all my cares [Eb] in the [Db] [Ebm] praise
