G            G       G         G
  When it's been that kind of day, baby
D           D                 G          G
  When everything is not what it should be
G       G    G           G
  Everybody's had their say;  Let's
D        D          G     G
  just say today is history

         C            C    D  G
And keep keeping the faith
C            C    D     G
Keeping the faith, everyday;  We're
C            C    D  G
Keeping the faith
     C            C           D        [drop 2 beats, go to instrumental]
Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away

G  G  G  G    D  D  G  G
[instrumental]

When your head's not making sense, baby
When your heart is just a mystery
When you're sitting on the fence
Instead of knowing where you're s'posed to be

Well just keep keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday
We'll be keeping the faith
     C            C           D        G  [don't drop 2 beats this time]
Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away

C           C    D          D 
  All the style,   all the money
C          C     D       G
  All the power you can buy
C           C      D             D       
  Won't do nothing   if there's something
Em         Em       D      D    D   D
  Missing way down deep inside

It's the weary, it's the lonesome
It's the forest that we just can't see
Don't forget now, there ain't no one who
Isn't trying to see beyond the trees

So just keep keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday
We'll be keeping the faith
Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away

Keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday   [this line only: C C D Em]
We'll be keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, don't give it away
