E7     Dm6 Fdim  AM7     C#m7-5      DM7      Dm6
With - out   a  song the  day  would nev - er end

Fdim   E7    AM7      A7         DM7       D6
With - out a song the road would nev - er bend

When things go wrong        a man ain't got a friend

With - out a song.


E7    Dm6 Fdim  AM7      C#m7-5    DM7   Dm6
That field of  corn would nev - er see a plow

Fdim   E7     AM7        A7      DM7       D6
That field of corn would be de - ser - ted now

Dm6 Fdim E7  A   F#m D9   Bm7-5    Cdim     E7
 A   man is born       but he's no good no how 

D9     Dm6    A    D6  Dm6  A
With - out a song.



Bridge:

A E7  A7  D        Cdim  A
I got my trou - ble and woe, 

     G6    Edim  D  Edim D9        Dm6   A
But sure as  I  know the Jor - dan will roll,

F#m           B7     Cdim       Em       D9  Dm6     E7
I'll get a - long as long as a song is strong in my soul.



E7   Dm6  Fdim  AM7     C#m7-5      DM7    Dm6
I'll nev - er  know what makes the rain to fall

Fdim  E7       AM7       A7         DM7      D6
I'll nev - er know what makes that grass so tall

Dm6 Fdim  E7  A    F#m D9       Bm7-5    Cdim    E7
 I   on - ly know         there ain't no love at all 

D9    BM7-5 Dm6  A
With - out   a  song.
