[G]I was down in the valley of the [C]shadow of [D]death
where the [G]passion for life drained like [C]blood from my [D]chest
and it took [Em]more than my [D]will just to [C]take a [G/B]step
when the [C]compass of hope was [D]gone

in a [G]silence so black that I [C]wished for the [D]blues
every [G]desperate prayer seemed like [C]Heaven re[D]fused
amd some [Em]days I found [D]faith meant just [C]tying my [G/B]shoes
and it was [C]all I could [D]do to press [G]on
{start_of_chorus}
Press [G]on, mi amigo, press [Am7]on, mon ami,
walk [G/B]on in the face of the [C]myste[D]ry
though the [Em]night hides the [D]light through the [C]darkness till [A]dawn
tie your [Am7]shoes, my dear [D]friend, and press [G]on.

{comment:4 bars G-C-D}
on the [G]ocean so lonesome I was [C]not left [D]alone
had some [G]heavyweight friends when my [C]heart was a [D]stone
and they [Em]carried the [D]heartache and [C]made it their [G/B]own
when the [C]currents of sorrow were [D]strong
one said [G]"I pray your memories will [C]not tie you [D]down,
not be [G]anchors, but treasuers of the [C]love that you've [D]found."
and his [Em]kind words turned [D]hurt into [C]comfort [G/B]somehow
and a [C]wind in my [dd]sail to [G]press on.

though the [C]days see like [G/B]years [Am7]  [D]
there may be [C]giants in our [G/B]fears [Am7]  [D]
ah, but they [C]who sow in [G/B]tears -- [Am7]they shall reap in [D]joy
they shall [D]run and leap for joy
