Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

  [

bass:

Verse 1 [guitar 1 continues fingerpicking pattern, changing chords as

indicated]:

  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, 2X]

Verse

length guitar solo; guitar 1 replaces the fingerpicked

pattern with strummed A-Gmaj7 (G-Fmaj7, capoed) chords]

[repeat chorus]

[bass plays intro pattern twice; guitar 1 enters second time]

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, 3X]
