Chords for vocalist DIANE SCHUUR @ the White House - 1982

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
This first tune is _ entitled Life Goes On, which I wrote when I was 16, _ and I'd like
to dedicate to Dad. _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ I have _ [F#] lived _ [G] _
for so [C#m] many _ years, _
[F] _ a [G] life full of goodness, _ _ troubles [F] _ and _ _ [A#] _
fears, _ [Em] _ _ _ with mixed
[Am]
emotions _ _ growing up years.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [F] But _
_ [F] life goes _ _ on.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] During [C] _
my short life, _ [G#m] _ _
[G] _ I have [C#m] seen _ many [G] _ _ _ _ _ sorrow times [A#] _ _ _ [Fm] that were so lean.
_ _ [Em] _ _ But with the [G] hardships _ _ _ [Dm] I've learned to see _ _ [C#m] that _ [C] life goes _ [F] on.
_ _ _ [C] _
_ [G#m] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ You can't go out _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] there, _ cause life just wouldn't be [Am] complete. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ You [D] must _ _ _ [C] taste the bitter as _ _ [F] _ well _ _ _ _ _ [G] as the sweet.
[Em] _ _ [G] _ So [C#m] I've told [C] you my _ _ story, _ _ [D#m] _ _
[G] mixed _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ [C] _ with [F] confusion, _ _ gladness [Fm] _ _ and _ strife.
But now that I've [Em] lived it, _ [A] _
for [A] certain I [Dm] know _ that _ _ [B] _ _ _ [C] life [G] goes _ on.
_ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ For certain [Am] I _
_ _ [D] _ _ know that _ [B] _ _ [Em] life _ _ [E] goes _ on.
