This is the chords of Courage by Celine Dion on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
Am G
I would be lying if I said: “I’m fine”
Em F
I think of you at least a hundred times
Am G Em
‘Cause in the echo of my voice I hear your words
F
Just like you’re there
Am G
I still come home from a long day
Em F
So much to talk about, so much to say
Am G Em
I love to think that we’re still making plans
F
In conversations that’ll never end
F
In conversations that’ll never end

[Chorus]
C F
Courage, don’t you dare fail me now
C Gsus4
I need you to keep away the doubts
F Am
I’m staring in the face of something new
C F
You’re all I got to hold on to
F Gsus4 G
So, courage, don’t you dare fail me now

[Verse 2]
Am G
Not one to hide from the truth, I know
Em F
It’s outta my hands but, I won’t let you go
Am G Em
There’s no replacing the way you touched me
F
I still feel the rush
Am G
Sometimes it drowns me ’til I can’t breathe
Em F
Thinking it’s only in our memories
Am G Em
But, then I talk to you like I did then
F
In conversations that will never end

[Chorus]
C F
Courage, don’t you dare fail me now
C Gsus4 G
I need you to keep away the doubts
F Am
I’m staring in the face of something new
C F
You’re all I got to hold on to
F Gsus4 G
So, courage, don’t you dare fail me now

[Bridge]
C F
‘Cause it’s not easy when you’re not with me
Am Gsus4 G
This world of madness goes faster now
C F
And it’s a train wreck, but I won’t crash, yet
Am Gsus4 G
Long as your echo never fades out

[Instrumental]

Courage, don’t you dare fail me now

This world of madness goes faster now
C F
And it’s a train wreck, but I won’t crash, yet
Am Gsus4 G
Long as your echo never fades out

Courage, don’t you dare fail me now

How to play Courage: key, chords and progression

Courage by Celine Dion is centred on A minor (no sharps or flats). The song uses 8 chords: Am, G, Em, F, C, Gsus4, Gm and Bb.

Most of the song cycles through Am – G – Em – F (i – VII – v – VI in A minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, F, Gm and Bb need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
