Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Dm][Em][Am]
[Em][Dm][Em][Am]

[Chorus 1]
[Em]Hush now, [Dm]child
And [Em]don't you [Am]cry
[Em]Your folks [Dm]might understand you
[Em]By and b[Am]y
Just [Em]move on [Dm]up
Towards your [Em]desti[Am]nation
Though [Em]you may f[Dm]ind,
from time to time [Em]compli[Am]cation

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Dm][Em][Am]
[Em][Dm][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Bite your [Dm]lip, and [Em]take a [Am]trip
Though [Em]there may [Dm]be wet road ahead
And you [Em]cannot [Am]slip
Just [Em]move on [Dm]up
For [Em]peace you will [Am]find
[Em]Into the [Dm]steeple of beautiful people
Where [Em]there's only [Am]one kind

[Chorus 2]
So [Em]hush now, [Dm]child
And [Em]don't you [Am]cry
[Em]Your folks [Dm]might understand you
[Em]By and b[Am]y
[Em]Move on [Dm]up, and [Em]keep on [Am]wishin'
Re[Em]member your [Dm]dream is your only scheme
So [Em]keep on [Am]pushin'

[Interlude 2]
[Em][Dm][Em][Am]
[Em][Dm][Em][Am]

[Verse 2]
Take [Em]nothing [Dm]less
Than the [Em]supreme [Am]best
Do [Em]not o[Dm]bey rumors people say
'Cause you can [Em]pass the [Am]test
Just [Em]move on [Dm]up, to a [Em]greater [Am]day
With [Em]just a lit- [Dm]tle faith,
if you put your mind to it
You can [Em]surely [Am]do it

[Outro 1]
[Em][Dm][Em][Am]
[Em][Dm][Em][Am]
[Repeat and fade]
