Hope Is Marching On

A  D A F#m
A/E D A

[Verse 1]
F#m             A/E             D
Long can be the night of our struggle
F#m             A/C#               D
Deep can be the wounds of this life
    F#m              A/E            D
But hope lives on in spite of our trials
    Bm    F#m            E
And these soon shall pass
     Bm    F#m            E
Yes, these soon shall pass

[Chorus]
A                         D     A
You take the world off my shoul-ders
    F#m          A/E        D     A
The weight of it all off my shoul-ders
A                                D A
You breathe Your hope. You watch o-ver
    F#m          A/E
And You take the world
        D      A/E  Bm   A
All the weight of   this world

[Verse 2]
F#m                A/C#            D
There are times of tears and of trouble
   F#m                A/C#             D
We wander through the darkness of night
    F#m             A/C#           D
But hope will shine inside of this battle
    Bm   F#m           E/G#
And this too shall pass
     Bm   F#m           E
Yes, this too shall pass
E
But until it does

[Chorus]
A                         D     A
You take the world off my shoul-ders
    F#m          A/E        D     A
The weight of it all off my shoul-ders
A                                D A
You breathe Your hope. You watch o-ver
    F#m          A/E
And You take the world
        D      A/E  Bm   A
All the weight of   this world
