Sometimes By Step

main recorded instrument is hammer dulcimer.  But it works (and I've seen
Rich perform it) by simply strumming like crazy on acoustic guitar. In key of
recording - pretty close



G/     /     /     /
G                     D/F#               G
Sometimes the night was beautiful
                       D/F#                  Am7
Sometimes the sky was so far away
                                                     D
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
                                                                 Bm
you could touch it but your heart would break
                         C                          Bm
sometimes the morning came too soon
                       C                    Em
sometimes the day can be so hot
                     Ds      D                C
there was so much work left to do
                              C/D         C/A  
but so much you'd already done

CHORUS
      G                          D/F#
Oh God, You are my God
      C        C/D              G
and I will ever praise You
                                  D/F#
Oh God, You are my God
      C        C/D             G
and I will ever praise You
          Em                    D
I will seek You in the morning
                C                                Am  C/G
and I will learn to walk in Your ways
       G                            D/F#
and step by step You'll lead me
                 C                C/D          G/     /
and I will follow You all of my days


G                  D/F#             G
Sometimes I think of Abraham
                           D/F#                       Am7
how one star he saw had been lit for me
                                         D
he was a stranger in this land
                                           Bm
and I am that, no less than he
                   C                         Bm
and on this road to righteousness
                         C                       Em
sometimes the climb can be so steep
           Ds  D            C
I may falter in my steps
                   C/D             C/A
but never beyond your reach

REPEAT CHORUS
                 Em                             D
and I will follow you all of my days
                 Am                          C/D
and I will follow you all of my days
       G                            D/F#
and step by step You'll lead me
                 C                C/D          G
and I will follow You all of my days

   G    D/F#                      C/G           C/D          G
                       and I will follow You all of my days   (repeat & ad lib)
