Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) foi uma banda de rock britânica dos anos 70 e 80.
Apesar de singles de sucesso no início, no Reino Unido, a banda foi inicialmente mais bem-sucedido nos Estados Unidos, anunciado como "Os caras ingleses com os violinos grandes". Eles logo ganharam status de cult depois apesar das críticas mornas de volta em seu país natal no Reino Unido. Em meados da década de 1970, eles haviam se tornado uma das maiores bandas de venda no mundo.

The Way Life's Meant To Be - Electric Light Orchestra By: Sam and Glen Guthrie Capo: 3
[Intro] G for 12 beats
[Verse 1] G Well I came a long way to be here today and C I left you so long on this avenue... D And here I stand in the strangest land not G Knowing what to say or do... As I gaze around at these strangers in town I C guess the only stranger is me...
[Chorus] D And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the G way life's meant to be...
[Verse 2] G Although it's only a day since I was taken away and left C standing here looking in wonder... D Oh, the crowd at my feet, maybe it's just the old street but G everything that I know lies under...
And when I see what they've done to this place that was C home, shame is all that I feel... Ohhh
[Chorus] D And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the G way life's meant to be...
[Bridge] FGCGAm Too late, too late to cry the people say FGC Too late for you, too late for me... FGCG You've come so far, nah you know ev'ry thing my Am friend F Love can see the one that's out my way-----
[Bass solo] GCDG
GC Oh---------------wah la...
[Chorus] D And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the G way life's meant to be...
[Verse 3] G As I wonder around this wreck of a town where people CD never speak aloud... with its ivory towers and its plastic G flowers I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face instead of this place, now I know what C you mean to me. Ohhhh
[Chorus] D And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the G way life's meant to be...
(Through oh la la's G, C, D, G, C)
[Outro] D And I wonder, yes I wonder wonder wonder wonder is this G the way life's meant to be. Ohhhhhhh G Is this the way life's meant to be mmmmm DG Is this the way life's meant to be, I wanna know now DG Is this the way life's meant to be.
