Pulling Hard Against The Stream

        C                   
In this world I've gained my 
 F
knowledge,
    C             F
And for it had to pay,
    G                      F
And though I never went to college,
     C                  F
I've heard the wise men say,
        C             F
Life is like a mighty river,
        C              F
Rolling on from day to day,
        G                F
Men are vessels launched upon it,
          C                F
Sometimes wrecked and cast away.

[Chorus]
        C            G
Do your best for one another,
       Am              F
When you're slipping in between,
       C              G
Help a worn And weary brother,
        Am               F
Pulling hard against the stream
        F                C        F
Pulling hard against the stream

[Verse]

C                           F
Many a bright, good-hearted fellow,
       C            F
Many a noble-minded man
      G                F
Finds himself in water shallow,
          C                    F
Then come on - help him if you can.
     C                F
Some succeed at every turning,
        C             F
Fortune favours every scheme
        G                F
Others, too, though more deserving.
        C                    
Have to pull hard against the 
 F
stream.

[Chorus]
        C            G
Do your best for one another,
       Am              F
When you're slipping in between,
       C              G
Help a worn And weary brother,
        Am               F
Pulling hard against the stream
        F                C        F
Pulling hard against the stream

[Verse]

       C               F
If the wind is in your favour,
           C               F
And you've weathered every storm,
         G                   
Think of those who, luckless, 
 F
labour,
      C                 F
Never get fair winds at all.

[Chorus]
        C            G
Do your best for one another,
       Am              F
When you're slipping in between,
       C              G
Help a worn And weary brother,
        Am               F
Pulling hard against the stream
        F                C
Pulling hard against the stream
