Tom: C
C
[Verse 1]
C Em F Dm
A baby child is born along the highway
G F C
A tiny little thing upon the land
C Em F Dm
An okie with his dreams out on the byway
G F G C
Lifts the tiny baby in his hand
C Em F Dm
The woman smiles a little smile of knowing
G F C
And whispers something softly in his ear
C Em F Dm
Perhaps a little prayer to help the growing
G F G C
Perhaps a word of comfort through the fears
[Chorus]
F G C
You trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
F Am Dm G
You trust the sun to shine upon the land
F G C Am
The little that you know and you do the best you can
F G C
You see the rest with the quiet faith of man
[Bridge]
F G C
[Verse 2]
C Em F Dm
Now a tractor makes its way along the fence line
G F C
And drops the seeds precisely in a row
C Em F Dm
If the rains are kind and the winds don't take the topsoil
G F G C
Before too long the crops will start to show
C Em F Dm
The farmer sees the fields around him growin'
G F G C
He whispers something low beneath his breath
C Em F Dm
Perhaps a little prayer to help the growin'
G F G C
Perhaps a word of thanks for all the rest
[Chorus]
F G C
You trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
F Am Dm G
And you trust the sun to shine upon the land
F G C Am
Take the little that you know and you do the best you can
F G C
You see the rest with the quiet faith of man
[Verse 3]
C Em F Dm
There's a storm tossed ship tonight out on the ocean
G F G C
There's a soul somewhere adrift out on the blue
C Em F Dm
There's a dreamer with his eyes upon the heavens
G F G C
They're all looking for a way to make it through
[Chorus]
F G C
You trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
F Am Dm G
And you trust the sun to shine upon the land
F G C Am
Take the little that you know and you do the best you can
F G C
You see the rest with the quiet faith of man
[Chorus]
F G C
You trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
F Am Dm G
And you trust the sun to shine upon the land
F G C Am
Take the little that you know and you do the best you can
F G C
You see the rest with the quiet faith of man
[Outro]
F Em G C
