  Am    G    Am    C    G    Dm    F   Am   Em   Amx2
Am Am Am
[Verse 1]
AmThis world is made with Gsweat and Amtoil
CPushing muscle and elbow Goil
We Dmcan't lie too long in the Fshade,
Cause Amevery day must Gbe reAmmade
AmSome days you fall some Gdays you Amfly
But Cin the end we all must Gdie
Our Dmrotting flesh and broken Fbone
Will Amfeed the ground that Gwe call Amhome
AmWill feed the ground that Gwe call Amhome
[Chorus 1]
But a Cnew sprout grows from a fallen Gtree.
My Csons will go on after Dme
So Dm7lift your heart and dry your Feye
It's Amanother day to Glive and Amdie
It's Amanother day to Glive and Amdie
[Instrumental]
  Am    G    Am    C    G    Dm    F   Am   Em   Amx2
Am Am Am
[Verse 2]
And now AmI've run naked Gin the Amwild,
Cseen the beauty of a newborn Gchild
And Dmlike the alchemists of Fold,
I've tAmried to spin my Gstraw to Amgold
AmMost times a giver, someGtimes a Amthief
So Cfull of hope but prone to Ggrief
BeDmtween freedom and desFpair
I Amknow the truth is Glying Amthere
I'Amve seen the truth, it's Glying Amthere
[Chorus 2]
And a Cnew sprout grows from a fallen Gtree.
This Cworld will go on after Dme
So Dm7lift your heart and dry your Feye
It's Amanother day to Glive and Amdie
It's Amanother day to Glive and Amdie
[Interlude]
  Am    G    Am    C    G    Dm    F   Am   Em   Amx2
C G C D Dm7 F Am G Am Am G Am
[Verse 3]
AmSo go on now, don't you worGry 'bout Amme,
You've Cmiles to go and a world to Gsee
My Dmlife's been long and full and Fgood
I've Amrun this race the Gbest I Amcould
AmIt's a short time here and Glong aAmpart,
But the Csame song rings in both our Ghearts
So Dmtake my guitar when I'm Fgone
Write Amyour own rhymes and Gpass it Amon
Just tAmake your hit and then Gpass it Amon
[Chorus 3]
Let a Cnew sprout grows from a fallen Gtree.
This Csong will go on after Dme
So Dm7lift your heart and dry your Feyes,
It's Amanother day to Glive and Amdie
It's Amanother day to Glive and Amdie
Just Amanother dayG  Am
