If Your Heart Keeps Right

E
If the dark shadows gather round as you go along,
B                               E
Do not grieve for their coming, sing a cheery song.

There is joy for the taking; it will soon be light.
      B                             F#7    B
Ev’ry cloud wears a rainbow if your heart keeps right.


Chorus:

        B
If your heart keeps right
        E
If your heart keeps right
          B                       E
There’s a song of gladness in the darkest night.
        B
If your heart keeps right
        E
If your heart keeps right
                      B
Ev’ry cloud will wear a rainbow
        E     B7     E
If your heart keeps right.


Is your life just a tangle full of toil and care?
Smile a bit as you journey, other’s burdens share.
You’ll forget all your troubles, making their lives bright;
Skies will grow blue and sunny, if your heart keeps right.


There are blossoms of gladness, ‘neath the winter’s snow;
From the gloom and the darkness come the morning glow.
Never give up the battle, you’ll win the fight;
Gain the rest of the Victor, if your heart keeps right.
