Chords for The Martins - The Promise (Lyric Video / Live At Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, TN/2005)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I never said that I would give you silver or gold
Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the [Dm] cold
[Eb] But I did say you'd [F] never walk through this world [Bb] alone
_ And _ _ [F]
[Eb] I did say don't make this world [Bb] your home
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
[Bb] I didn't say that fear wouldn't find you in the night
Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight
But [Eb] I did say I'd be right there [C] by your [Bb] side
Thank you, sweet dreams _
And [Eb] I did say _ I'll always help you [Bb] _ fight
[Eb] But you know I've made a promise that I intend to keep
My [Bb] grace will be [Gm] sufficient in every time of need
My [Eb] love will be the anchor that you can hold on to
This [Bb] is the promise, this is the [F] promise I've made [Bb] to you
_ _ _ I _ never said that friends would never turn their backs on you
[Eb]
[Bb] Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool
But [Eb] I did say like me that you'll surely [Cm] be [Bb] _ despised
_ And _ [Eb] I did say my ways confound the [Bb] wise
I _ _ _ _ _ _ didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of [Eb] death
Or [Bb] have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest
[Eb] But I did say I'd be waiting right on [Cm] the [Bb] other side
Yeah, yeah, yeah _
And [Eb] I did say _ I'll dry every [Bb] tear you cry
But [Eb] you know I've made a promise that I'm prepared to pledge
[Bb] And someday sooner than you [Gm] think [Bb] you'll see me face to face
[Eb] And you'll sing with the angels and the countless multitude
_ This [Bb] is the promise, this [F] is the promise I've made [Eb] to _ you
I _ _ _ [Bb]
can devastate you, he will pursue you forever
[Eb] _
You cling to the one who _ he's able to do [F] _
_ _ _ _ it to
So [Eb]
let's keep on walking, don't turn to the left or right
[Cm]
[Bb] In the midst of darkness, let this be your light
[Eb] That hell can't separate us, and you're gonna make it through
This is [Bb] the promise, _ this is [F] the promise I've made to [Gm] _ _ you
[Eb] This _ [Bb] is the promise, this [F] is the promise _ I've made [Bb] to you
_ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
