[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ Hmmm_ _ _ _
_ _ _ My life goes [G] on and on in [D] this _ song _
Of a book's _ [A] _ _
lamentation
_ [G] I [D]
hear the _ [G] reel, the [D] far-off poem
[Bm] _
That [A] is a new [D] _
[G] creation [D] _ _ _ of _ _ the [G] moth and [D] the strife _
I hear its [A] music _ ringing, _ _ [D] it's _ _ _ _ [G] _
echoing [D] my soul
[Bm] _
How [A] can I keep [D] from _
[G] [D] singing?
_ _ What though the _ [G] tempest round [D] me rolls? _
I hear the truth [A] it living, _ _ _ _ [D] what though the [G] darkness round [D] me [Bm] rolls? _
[A] Songs in the [D] night it [G] giving, [D] _ no _ [G] song [D] [A] can take my [D] _
[G] head [D] from the wall
[Bm] To [D] that rock _ _ [G] _
_ [D] I'm singing, since the Lord
[G] How [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [D] _ _ _ [Abm] _ [Bm] _
[A] can I keep [D] from singing?
[G] _ [D] _ _ When _ tyrants trample [G] _
me, [D] sick with fear _
And hear their death [A] knell _ _ ring, [D] when [G] friends [D] _ rejoice [G] for far [D] and near
_ [Bm] _ _
[A] How can I [D] keep from [G] singing?

How [A] can I keep [D] from [G] singing?
[D] _ My song _ _ _ _ [G] _ _

of all the sun _ [A] _
levitation
