Through This Life We've Laboured Long To Earn Our Meagre Fare
                                            F#
It's Brought Us Trembling Hands And Failing Eyes
                                      C#7
So I'll Just Rest There On That Shore And Turn My Eyes Away

Until You Come Then We'll See Para-dise
