WHEN YOU BELIEVE (FROM THE PRINCE OF EGYPT)

    a               G         e          a
1. Many nights we pray, with no proof anyone could hear,
                     G                d            e
    in our hearts a hopeful song, we barely understood.
         a            G        e                     a
    Now we are not afraid, although we know there's much to fear,
                       G            d               G       ~
   we were moving mountains long before we know we could. Oh, yes !

C                          G
    There can be miracles     when you believe,
a                    e          F             - G
    though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.
C                            G
    Who knows what miracles     you can achieve,
a               e          F
    when you believe, somehow you will,  
d                  G     a
    you will when you believe.

2. In this time of fear, when prayer so often proves in vain,
                         G                  d             e
    hope seems like the summer birds, too swiftly flown away.
         a                 G        e                 a
    And now I am standing here, my heart's so full I can't explain,
                        G                d                 G
    seeking faith and speaking words, I never thought I'd say. 

+ REFRAIN ending in C  + a - F - G

    They don't always happen when you ask,
              a            G          C
    and it's easy to give in to your fear.

          F                            
    But when you're blinded by your pain,
           a
    can't see your way safe through the rain,
         F                                   G
    as though a still resilient voice says, love is very near.

C                          G
    There can be miracles     when you believe,
a                   e           F             - G
    though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.
C                            G
    Who knows what miracles     you can achieve,
a               e          F                  a
    when you believe, somehow you will,  somehow you will,
d                  G      a
    you will when you believe.
d                 G     C      - a          C     - a
   You will when you believe,       just believe,
            C      - a     C                 G     C
    just believe,             you will when you believe

(Orig. = capo 2, here simplified, Orig. actually moves 1 full 
note or two frets higher with each refrain)
