*CAPO 4th FRET*
(Original Key: B)
[Intro]
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7
Do do do do, mmm-mmm-mmm,
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7
Do do do, do do do.
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7
As a-round the sun, the earth knows she's re-volving,
Gmaj7 F7
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May.
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7 C6
Just as hate knows love's the cure; you can rest your mind assure,
Em7 F#m7 B7 Em7 Em6 Am D7
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7
As now can't reveal the mystery of to-morrow,
Gmaj7 F7
But in passing will grow older every day.
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7 C6
Just as all that's born is new, you know what I say is true;
Em7 F#m7 B7 Em
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
[Chorus 1]
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the dolphin flies, and parrots live at sea, (always).
Em Baug Em7 C#9
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream.
[Bridge 1]
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
Did you know that true love asks for nothing?
Cmaj7 F7
Her acceptance is the way we pay.
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee?
Am7 Bsus B Am9 D13
To last through for-ever another day.
[Verse 3]
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7
Just as time knew to move on since the be-ginning,
Gmaj7 F7
And the seasons know exactly when to change.
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7 C6
Just as kindness knows no shame; know through all your joy and pain;
Em7 F#m7 B7 Em7 Em6 Am D7
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
[Verse 4]
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7
As to-day I know I'm living, but to-morrow;
Gmaj7 Fmaj7
Could make me the past; but that I mustn't fear.
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7 C6
For I'll know deep in my mind; the love of me I've left be-hind;;
Em7 F#m7 B7 Em
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
[Chorus 2]
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the day is night and night becomes the day, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the trees and sea just up and fly a-way, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the day, that is the day that are no more, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the earth just for the sun, denies it-self, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the day that you are me and I am you, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).
[Break]
Em Baug Em7 A7
We all know, some-times life's hates and troubles,
Em Baug Em7 A7
Can make you wish you were born in a-nother time and space.
Em Baug Em7 A7
But you can bet your life, times that, and twice it's double;
Em Baug Em7 A7
That God knew ex-actly where he wanted you to be placed.
Em Eaug Em7 A7
So make sure, when you say you're in it, but not of it,
Em Baug Em7 A7
You're not helping to make this Earth a place sometimes called Hell.
Em Baug Em7 A7
Change your words into truths, and then change that truth into love,
Em
And maybe our children's grandchildren,
Baug Em7 A7
And their great-great grandchildren will tell.
[Coda]
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the dolphin flies, and parrots live at sea, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream.
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the day is night and night becomes the day, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the trees and sea just up and fly a-way, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the day, that is the day that are no more, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the earth just for the sun, denies it-self, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the day that you are me and I am you, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
Em Baug Em7 A7
Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).
(Repeat to Fade)
