BETTER TO TRY AND FAIL

Composed by Singing Sam

Intro:
(G)-(Am7)-(G/B)-(C)
(D)-(C)-(G)

Chorus:
It's (G)better to (Am7)try (G/B)and (C)fail
Than to (D)carefully just let life pass you (G)by.
It's (G)better to (Am7)try to (G/B)no a(C)vail,
Than to (D)sit around doing nothing till you (G)die.

You know the (Cmaj7)people that (Bm7)bravely give their (Am7)lives (Bm7)-(C)
For the (D)causes that change the world (G)today
Will (Cmaj7)find out that (Bm7)over the rainbow (Am7)lies (Bm7)-(C)
Their re(A7)ward, that their lives weren't spent in (D)vain.

[Repeat chorus]

You know I'd (Cmaj7)rather be (Bm7)walking in the (Am7)rain, (Bm7)-(C)
Than be (D)hiding in my house on dreary (G)days.
And I'd (Cmaj7)rather be (Bm7)happy though in(Am7)sane, (Bm7)-(C)
And be (A7)laughing at the world and their silly (D)ways.

[Repeat chorus]

Just (Cmaj7)go ahead and (Bm7)try to change black to (Am7)white.
(Bm7)-(C)The (D)normal people, well, they never even (G)try.
Just (Cmaj7)reach out by (Bm7)faith and really (Am7)fight. (Bm7)-(C)
Why should you (A7)walk when in the Spirit you can (D)fly?

[Repeat chorus]

And the im (Cmaj7)possible is (Bm7)something you don't (Am7)know (Bm7)-(C)
When you're (D)walking by faith and not by (G)sight.
And there's (Cmaj7)nothing to (Bm7)stop you if you'll (Am7)go,(Bm7)-(C)
So just (A7)stand up and hold up the (D)light.

Second Chorus:
So I'd (G)rather (Am7)try (G/B)than (C)fail,
And we'll (D)surely win if only we will (G)try.
On life's (G)sea we've (Am7)just set (G/B)out to (C)sail,
And with God's (D)help we'll make it together, you and (G)I.
