Standard (EADGBE)

 Well you say you got the blues,

 You got holes in both of your shoes, yeah-

 You're feeling alone and confused,

 You got to keep on smilin', just keep on smilin'

 Yeah, you're- you're bout to go insane,

 Cause your woman s playing games,

 And she says that you're to blame,

 You try to keep on smilin', just keep on smilin'

 Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain

 Just flowin' with the changes, till the sun comes out again

 Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin at the pain

 Just flowin' with the changes, and singin' this refrain

Singing in a honky tonk cafe,

Nobodys hearin' what you play, yeah-

They're too busy drinkin anyway,

You gotta keep on smilin', brother keep on smilin'

Say you found a piece of land

Gonna change from city boy to country man, yeah-

Try to build you're life with your hands

And just keep on smilin', keep on smilin'

 Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain

 Just flowin' with the changes, till the sun comes out again

 Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin at the pain

 Just flowin' with the changes, and singin' this refrain

You're just hangin out- in a local bar,

And you're wonderin'- who the hell you are

Are you a farmer - are you a star?

 Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain

 Just flowin' with the changes, till the sun comes out again

 Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin at the pain

 Just flowin' with the changes, and singin' this refrain

 Keep on smilin', smilin' - smilin', smilin'

Laughin, laughin- said laughin', laughin'

 Keep on flowin', flowin', flowin' -- YEAH............
