CAPO 1st Fret/KEY:/PLAY: 
C              F         C
Too many broken pro-mis-es 
                G7
Too many trail of tears 
        C                    F
Too many times you were left cold 
  G7          C
For oh so many years. 
 
Too many times you walked away 

And was made to feel ashamed 

And though you only tried to give 

You were often blamed. 
 
How can this world be so dark 

So unfair and so untrue 

How did the cards of life 

Fold right on top of you 
 
God in heaven, hear my prayer 

If you are still above 

Send the children hopes and dreams 

And lots and lots of love. 
   F                         C
For this I only ask of you to conquer all their fears 
                            G7                   C
And let them soar like eagles across the trail of tears.
