Course of Life
Lyrics by Sheila A. Ward
Verse I:
A
Amaj7 F#m D
When just a small child
I enjoyed life without care
A
Amaj7 Bm9 D
No worries no hardships
friends and family always there
E7 D
Amaj7 C#m7 F#m
Good times and laughter
filled each and every day
B9
Dmaj7 E7 A
Curiosity and mischief
but out of trouble I’d stay
Verse II:
A
Amaj7 F#m D
Then as I grew older the
world’s truth became clear
A
Amaj7 Bm9 D
The issues and problems
of controversy and fear
E7 D
Amaj7 C#m7 F#m
I learned of
responsibility and the importance of choice
B9 Dmaj7
E7 A
The significance of Turning
eighteen and my newly found adult voice
Chorus:
E7
D A D C#m7b5 F#7 Bm
Every decision changes the
path of life every corner and turn that we make
Bm7
E7 Amaj7 C#m7 E7 Fdim
F#m
The course of life that we
follow depends upon the road we choose to take
D Dmaj7
C#7 F#m
Be true to your honor and
beliefs be true to the person set forth
D Dm C
G7 F
The course of life that you
follow will determine your value and worth
E6 Amaj7 G sus2
E7 A Asus A
The course of life that you
choose the course of life that you take
Verse III:
A
Amaj7 F#m D
Independence
I sought while challenging the rules
A
Amaj7 Bm9 D
Authority I questioned
while gathering life lesson tools
E7 D
Amaj7 C#m7 F#m
I was working long hours
learning the value of a dollar
B9
Dmaj7 E7 A
And the cold hard
difference between a white and blue collar
Verse IV:
A Amaj7
F#m D
The years just seemed to
double and with age came wisdom and truth
A Amaj7 Bm9
D
I now sit and appreciate
family instead of reminiscing on my youth
E7
D Amaj7 C#m7 F#m
And as my time quickly
passes rocking here beside my lovely wife
B9
Dmaj7 E7
A
I realize just how lucky
I’ve been I wouldn’t change the course of my life
