F major, capo 1

F                 Am
"When will you be home?" she asks
      F                     Am
as we watch the planes take off
   F                 Am                 Dm
We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
      F               Am
She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled
F                      Am
As a child, she was my world
    Am                           Dm
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
                    Am
and yet she says to me

        Dm
You can fly so high
          F
Keep your gaze upon the sky
        Am                          Dm
I'll be prayin every step along the way
     F                   Am                     Dm          Bb
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
Bb         Am                   Dm
I love you too much to make you stay
Dm             F
Baby fly away

F                  Am
Autumn leaves fell into spring time and
F              Am
Silver-painted hair
  F               Am                 Dm
Daddy called one evening saying "We need you. Please come back"
       F              Am
When I saw her laying in her bed
F             Am
Fragile as a child
  Am                           Dm
Pale just like an angel taking flight
                Am
I held her as I cried

        Dm
You can fly so high
          F
Keep your gaze upon the sky
        Am                          Dm
I'll be prayin every step along the way
     F                   Am                     Dm          Bb
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
Bb         Am                   Dm
I love you too much to make you stay
Am             F
Baby fly away
Dm
ohh...

Bb         Am                   Dm
I love you too much to make you stay
Dm             F
Baby fly away

Journey – Corrinne May

A                F#m
It’s a long long journey
A                          F#m
Till I know where I’m supposed to be
A         F#m
It’s a long long journey
A                     F#m
And I don’t know if I can believe
C#m              D
When shadows fall and block my eyes
C#m                D      E7
I am lost and know that I must hide
A          F#m
It’s a long long journey
D           E7      A
Till I find my way home to you

A              F#m
Many days I’ve spent
A                      F#m
Drifting on through empty shores
A                F#m
Wondering what’s my purpose
A                    F#m
Wondering how to make me strong

C#m                   D
I know I will falter. I know I will cry
C#m                     D     E7
I know you’ll be standing by my side
A         F#m
It’s a long long journey
D           E7      A
And I need to be close to you

D                         C#m
Sometimes it feels no one understands
F#m                      C#m             E7
I don’t even know why, I do the things I do
D                         C#m
When pride builds me up till I can’t see my soul
F#m                                C#m     D
Will you break down these walls and pull me through

A         F#m
Cause It’s a long long journey
A                        F#m
Till I feel that I am worth the price
A                  F#m
You paid for me on calvary
A                  F#m
Beneath those stormy skies

C#m              D
When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
C#m                          Bm          E7
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
A         F#m
It’s a long long journey
D           E7
Till I find my way home to you
A
To you

D A
So here we stand, anchored in hope
Bm D
Letting the rain wash away every fear

D A
Stars in the sky. Twinkle and shine
Bm A
I pray they won’t disappear

F#m
’cause I don’t know
G
where your journey goes
D Bm A7
or how long it will take to unfold
F#m G A
But as long, as we keep this moment shining in the dark
D Bm A D
I will be watching over every beat of your heart

D A
I wish that time could be replayed
Bm D
I’d keep you here with me everyday

D A
They say that love is letting go
Bm A
I hope that you find your way

F#m
’cause I don’t know
G
where your journey goes
D Bm A7
or how long it will take to unfold
F#m G A
But as long as we keep this moment shining in the dark
D Bm A D
I know you’re watching over every beat of my heart

Capo 1

G Am Bm
Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead
Am D
How long till my hunger is fed
G Am Bm
They say it’s hard to make it in this part of town
Am D
So many people on this merry-go-round

Bm
Some folks try astrology
Em G
Some turn to crystal balls
Bm
To find an answer,
Am D
To get through it all
Bm Em G
I just fall on my knees and I try to pray
Am D
In the silence I can hear Him say

G D7
The river runs and the river hides
C D
Out to the ocean and under the sky
G D7
I promise you, the answer will come
C D
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Em
Everything in its time

D

G Am Bm
I often feel like I’m two steps behind
Am D
Somebody must have moved that finish line
Bm
There are a thousand reasons
Em G
Why I should give up
Am D7
But I’m stubborn in the things I believe

G D7
The river runs and the river hides
C D
Out to the ocean and under the sky

’cause maybe there’s another plan
Am D
One I still can’t see

A little surprise, like your love in my life
Am C D
Funny how time changes how we see

G D7
The river runs and the river hides
C D
Out to the ocean and under the sky
G D7
I promise you, the answer will come

Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

Fives Loaves and Two Fishes by Corrinne May

Intro – Em F G C

C
A little boy of thirteen
Am
was on his way to school
C
He heard a crowd of people laughing
Am F
and he went to take a look

C
Thousands were listening
Am
to the stories of one man
C Em
He spoke with such wisdom,
Am F
even the kids could understand

Dm
The hours passed so quickly
C
the day turned into night
G7
Everyone was hungry
Am
but there was no food in sight

C
The boy looked in his lunchbox
Am
at the little that he had
C
He wasn’t sure what good it’d do
G
there were thousands to be fed
C
But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus
Em
the kindness in His smile
G7
and the boy cried out
G7 F
with the trust of a child
G
he said:”

C F
Take my five loaves and two fishes
C Am Dm Em F G
Do with it as you will. I… surrender
C F
Take my fears, my inhibitions
C Em Am
All my burdens, my ambitions
Em F
You can use it all
G C
to feed them all

C
I often think about that boy
Am
when I’m feeling small
C Em
and I worry that the work I do
Am F
means nothing at all

C
But every single tear I cry
Am
is a diamond in His hands
C Em
and every door that slams in my face
Am F
I will offer up in prayer

Dm Em
So I’ll give you every breath that I… have
C F
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
G7 F G G7
All that you need is my “Amen”

C F
Take my five loaves and two fishes
C Am Dm Em F G
Do with it as you will. I… surrender
C F
Take my fears, my inhibitions
C Em Am
All my burdens, my ambitions
Em F
You can use it all
G C
I hope it’s not too small

C F A7
I… trust in you
C F G
I… trust in you

C F
Take my five loaves and two fishes
C Am Dm Em F G
Do with it as you will. I… surrender
C F
Take my fears, my inhibitions
C Em Am
All my burdens, my ambitions
Em F
You can use it all
G C
no gift is too small
