Tom: Am

Am
What is Courage now?
              F    C         D
Is it just to go until we're done?
Dm      G               C
Men may call us heroes when
                    F
They can say we've won,
C                Dm        Em
But if we should fail, how then?
                Am
What is Courage now?

[Verse 2]
Am
Mountains to our side,
                F      C         D
Standing like a wall against the sky,
Dm       G              C
Show no path to let us through.
                    F
Still we search and try.
C               Dm         Em
Silver snow and cold stone-blue
                 Am 
Mountains to our side.

[Verse 3]
Am
River from the pines,
                 F     C    D
We can hear your echo far away.
Dm       G                    C
To your banks our steps must lead.
                F
Help us on our way,
C                 Dm       Em
We who know you, lend your speed,
                Am
River from the pines.

[Verse 4]
Am
Star above the world,
                 F        C       D
Seeing down the ways that we must go,
Dm          G                 C
Throw down light to guide a friend.
                 F
How else can we know --
C                   Dm        Em
Is there hope where pathways end?
                Am
Star above the world.

[Verse 5]
Am
What is courage now?
                F         C        D
In the hope we know that holds us fast.
Dm      G             C
Bear us to the final door;
                F
Win us free at last,
C               Dm        Em
Or we touch the world no more.
                Am
What is courage now?
