How Can I Keep From Singing Chords by John Mccutcheon

[G] My life flows on in endless song above earth's lamentation. _
I hear the reel though far off hymn _ that hails a new creation. _ _ _
[C#] No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I'm clinging
it sounds an echo in my soul. _
How can I _ keep from _ singing?
_ What though the darkness round me falls, I know the truth it [F#] liveth.
And what though the tempest round me roars, _ songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I'm clinging _
it sounds an echo in my soul. _
How can I keep from singing?
_ _ _ And when tyrants tremble sick with fear and hear their death knells ringing,
[Bm] when friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing?
_ In prison cells and dungeons vile, our thoughts to them are winging
when friends by shame are _ undefiled.
_ How can I keep _ from singing? _ _
Oh my life flows on in endless song above earth's _ lamentation.
Oh I hear the reel though far off hymn that hails a new creation. _
Through all the tumult and the strife those freedom bells come ringing
since love is lord of heaven and earth. _
How can I _ keep from singing? _ _ _ _ _ _
