More songs by Michael W. Smith

This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

G                          Bm/F#
Sittin' in the rain, water on your brain
          Em
    Got a hole in your boat
          A7                       Cm     D
Trying to stay afloat has got you down-----
           G                       Bm/F#
I've got a wind in my sail, rubber boots and a pail
         Em
    I'll throw you a line
       A7                               Cm     D
Rest assured that I won't ever let you drown----

               G                D/F#
        'Cause when you're up against the wall
             C/E
        You know I'll be here
              G/D   A/C#        D7sus4  D7
        For you---------, for you---------
        G                  D/F#
        When you rise and when you fall
              C/E
        I'll always be here
              G/D   A/C#        D7sus4  D7
        For you---------, for you---------

         G                   Bm/F#
When the plans you make fall through and take
        Em
    You for a loop
                 A7                           Cm     D
Or some bird has flown the coop and left you stra---nded
     G                 Bm/F#
Just lean on me, and together you see
          Em
    We'll carry the load
     A7                      Cm   D
Even if we don't quite understand it
