Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Love is but a song we sing

 And fear's the way we die

 You can make the mountains ring

 Or make the angels cry

 Though the bird is on the wing

 And you may not know why

Chorus

 C'mon people now

 Smile on your brother

 Ev'rybody get together

 Try to love one another right now

Verse 2

Some will come and some will go

We shall surely pass

When the one that left us here

Returns for us at last

We are but a moment's sunlight

Fading in the grass

repeat chorus, twice

Verse 3

If you hear the song I sing

You will understand (listen!)

You hold the key to love and fear

In your trembling hand

Just one key unlocks them both

It's there at your command

repeat chorus, 3 times

... right now, right now
