[Bm] The ocean's gonna roll [E] without me, [Bm] the river's [E] gonna flow without me, [D] the world's [E] gonna spin without me, and [A] there'll be songs to be sung [F#m] long after I'm gone.

_ [D#] _ [C#m] I try to [G#m] cry out but I don't know [C#m] why, my face is [G#m] frozen, can't even cry [A] even [D] though [F#m] I tried.
[B] [E] I beg you, Lord, hold [C#m] me, _
