These Things Shall Pass  
 (I transcribed this from recordings done by both Johnny Cash and Hank  
Snow)  
 (A) These things shall pass (A7) and some great (D) morning We'll look  
(A) back and smile at heartaches we have (E) known So don't for- (A) get,  
when shadows (D) gather The Lord our (A) God is still the (E) King upon  
His (A) throne  
 Chorus:  
 A (E) rose looks gray at midnight But the (A) flame is just asleep And  
(B7) steel is strong because it knew The (E) hammer and white heat These  
(A) things shall pass (A7) and life be (D) sweeter When love and (A) faith  
are strong they (E) cannot long en- (A) dure  
 (A) These things shall pass,(A7) so don't you (D) worry The darkest (A)  
time is just one hour before (E) dawn So hold up (A) high and face your  
(D) troubles And don't de- (A) spair if you must (E) face them all a- (A)  
lone  
 Repeat Chorus
