Smile Chords

(ver. 1)
Jayhawks
Hey, the other tabs I've found for this song were all wrong, and I really wanted to 
it, so I listened and played along with the album. The strumming isn't too tricky. Just 
to the song.

“Smile” by The Jayhawks
Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)

Intro:  F (strum twice)

Am		   C
Wake up, put your shoes on
	F			E
Take a breath of the northern air
		F
And rub those eyes
D				G
Genuflect beneath the starry skies

Am			C
Before you climb the mountain
	   F		    E
First the foothills must appear

Step high and light
		  D			G
And take up your staff and shining armor

You don't really have a problem
Am
(Chin up, chin up)
	C	 G
In your hour of despair

And smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
C		   G
Smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
F
Smile…

    Am		  C
The stars on the horizon
	    F			 E
Stretch as far as the eyes can see
	   F	    D				 G
They represent the souls of those like you and me

And smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)

Smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
