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]
