Leon Jackson - When You Believe Chords & Tabs

When You Believe by Leon Jackson
Written by Stephen Schwartz
Standard tuning


Em                D 
Many nights we've prayed
Bm               Em
With no proof anyone could hear
Em              G
In our hearts a hopeful song
   Am          Bm
We barely understood
    E           D
Now we are not afraid
                         Em
Although we know there's much to fear
C              G
We were moving mountains
       Am              Bm    D
Long before we knew we could


G
There can be miracles
D/F#
When you believe
Em             D
Though hope is frail
     C
It's hard to kill
G
Who knows what miracles
D/F#
You can achieve
Em           D        C
When you believe, somehow you will
Am            D       Em
You will when you believe


Em         D
Easy to despair
     Bm              Em
When all you hear is fear and lies
Em           G
Easy just to run and hide
   Am              Bm 
To frightened to begin
    E             D
But if we dare to dare
      D                Em
Don't wait for answers from the skies
C              G
Each of us can look inside
    Am                 D
And hear this song within


A      
There can be miracles
E/G#
When you believe
F#m            E
Though hope is frail
     D
It's hard to kill
A
Who knows what miracles
E/G#
You can achieve
F#m          E        D
When you believe, somehow you will
Bm            E       F#m
You will when you believe

            F#m          E/G#     A   E  A/C#
They don't always happen when you ask
         F#m          E/G#        A   E  A/C#
And it's easy to give in to your fears
    D                   A/C#    E
But when you're blinded by your faith
      A        E/G#      F#m         E
Can't see your way clear through the rain
F#m
A small but still resilient voice
     E
Says hope is very near


B
Ohhh(There can be miracles)
F#
Ohhh(When you believe)
G#m            F#
Though hope is frail (Though hope is frail)
     E
It's hard to kill (It's hard to kill)
B
Who knows what miracles (Who knows what miracles)
F#
You can achieve (You can achieve)
G#m          F#       E
When you believe, somehow you will (When you believe, somehow you will)
G#m
(Now you will) Now you will
E             F#      G#m  F#
You will when you believe (You will when you believe)
E             F#      B   F#  B
You will when you believe
