Intro:  Am7 - D9 - Am7 - E7-9

    Fdim      Am  Am+7 CM7/6 C/B  C#m7-5    F#7         Bm7 CM7 Bm7 E7-9
You have the cool clear eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth,

    Fdim         Am    Am+7 CM7/6 C/B    C#m7-5     F#7      B    C  CM7
Yet there's that up - turned chin and the grin of impetuous youth,

Em7    D6/9 D7/9 G/B  Fdim CM7 Em7     D6/9 D7/9 Am7  Cdim  E7-9
I be - lieve in  you,           I be - lieve in  you.


  Fdim      Am  Am+7 CM7/6 C/B  C#m7-5      F#7        Bm7 CM7 Bm7 E7-9
I hear the sound of  good solid judgment whenever you talk,

    E7-9          Am   Am+7    CM7/6 C/B   C#m7-5     
Yet there's that bold, brave, spring of the tiger 

       F#7           B    C   CM7
That quickens your walk,
                                                  Am7  Cdim  G
Em7    D6/9 D7/9 G/B  Fdim  CM7 Em7     D6/9 D7/9 Am7  G  G#   
I be - lieve in  you,            I be - lieve in  you

G7  Am7 Cdim  G   D7/9   Am7    G   
And when my faith  in my fellow man 

D6  D9     Am7  D7/9  E
All   but falls  a - part,
      
Bb   F7 F7-9 Bb       F7   Gm7      Bb                       
I've but to feel your hand grasping mine,

   Gm7       C7   Bb      D9   E7-9   Fdim
And I take heart, I take heart      to see


     Am  Am+7 CM7/6 C/B  C#m7-5     F#7         Bm7  CM7  Bm7  E7-9
The cool clear eyes  of a seeker of wisdom and truth,

    Fdim          Am   Am+7  CM7/6 C/B      C#m7-5       F#7      B
Yet there's that slam, bang, tang, rem - i - niscent of gin and Vermouth,

   Em7     D6/9 D7/9 G/B  Fdim Em7        D6/9 D7/9 G    Gdim   Am7 
Now I be - lieve in  you,      how I be - lieve in  you.

Cdim      Am7  D7  G  Edim  Am7 D7 D7/9     G   Edim Am7 D7  G 
  I be - lieve in you,          I    be - lieve.
