    Make It Through

  • Artist:

    Randy Travis

Note: whenever you see a D5 , it really means a random pattern of the following chords: 
D5 , D5 , D5 , D5 , D5 , and D5 , 
and the "sus" chords with those base notes. 

Basically, it's a free-for-all (or at least, I play it like that) so have fun with it. 
 
Capo I 
 
(There's an annoying string intro) 
 
Intro (once you get to the guitar): 
D5  G5  A5  D5 
 
D5 
Well the sun beats down and the sand gets hot 
D5 
Where I break my back haulin in this rock 
G5                                          D5 
For a man-made God I really don't believe in 
D5 
But I shoulder the rope and I bear the strain 
D5 
Wipe the salt from my eyes and ignore the pain 
G5                                                D5 
Though I know when I fall another will just come in 
 
CHORUS: 
                   G5 - A5  D5 
And when I feel my body goin down 
                    G5 A5 - C5 D5 
And there's nothing I can do 
            G5    C5   A5    C5  D5 - D5 
I know if I keep my faith in you 
                        D5 
I'm gonna make it through 
 
I'm a prisoner here in this hall of kings 

I'm gold, I'm jewels, I'm a diamond ring 

To be given as a token of God's affection 

The law says I'm their property 

But my heart and my soul belong to me 

They can hold me but I'll never be in their possession 
 
CHORUS 
 

C5           D5 
Through the doubt (through the doubt) 
         C5                    D5 
Give me strenght to lead them out (lead them out) 
C5                   G5 
Give them faith to follow me 
A5                    C5     D5 
Guide us through the sea, oh 
 
 
Help me God I'm a common man 
With the lives of thousands in my hands 
As I carry them into the land You promised 
 
CHORUS 
 
I know if I keep my faith in you 
We're gonna make it through
