I'm not 100% sure about all the chords, but for the most part

they sound alright. It's pretty close to what you hear on the CD.

INTRO: A D7 A D7

A D7 A D7

A E

A

Smile though your heart is aching

Amaj7

Smile even though it's breaking

F#m D/F# Bm F#

Though there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by

E F# Bm A Dm

If you smile through your fears and sorrows

Dm E A

Smile and maybe tomorrow

A F#m Bm

You'll see the sun come shining through

E A

If you just light up your face with gladness

Amaj7

Hide every trace of sadness

F#m D/F# Bm F#

Although a tear may be ever, ever so near

E F# Bm A Dm

That's the time you must keep on trying

Dm E A

Smile, what's the use of crying

A F#m Bm

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

E A

If you just smile

A

Come on and smile

SOLO: use verse chords

(F#m, D/F#, Bm ...)

ENDING:

A D7 A D7

ooh ooh, ooh ooh

A E

ooh ooh

A

If you just smile
