Capo 3 fret

[INTRO]
C Cmaj7 Am Em  G
 
        C                  Am
He was sitting on a corner with a bottle of beer
        Fm                           G
And the same shopping cart he'd been pushing for years
        C
A big smile on his face
        Am
Like the first day of spring
        Fm                                    G
All the people looked the other way, but they heard him sing
G
And he sang
 
 
C Cmaj7 Am
"Love
          Em
Love is a sweet thing
G
Oh yes it is"
         C Cmaj7 Am
He sang "love
           Em                 G
Love is a sweet, sweet thing"
 
 
     C
She shot out of Texas
       Am
Like a bullet from a gun
       Fm                        G
With a van full of hippies and a band on the run
          C
She didn't want to be famous
         Am
She just wanted to play
        Fm                          G
In old dive bars and pool halls she got up on stage
G
And she sang
 
 
C Cmaj7 Am
"Love
          Em
Love is a sweet thing
G
Oh yes it is"
         C Cmaj7 Am
She sang "love
           Em                 G
Love is a sweet, sweet thing"
 
 
F
It's everywhere you look
Fm
If you look hard enough
C
Its really not hard to see
F
Yeah, once you put your arms around it
Fm
You can never get too much
G                G7
Love is a sweet, sweet thing
 
 
[Instrumental]
C Cmaj7 Am Em G
 
 
F
It's in the smile of a stranger
Fm
In the eyes of a child
C
On the corner of a crowded street
F
Its everywhere around us
Fm
Its always growing wild
G                G7
Love is a sweet, sweet thing
 
 
C Cmaj7 Am
Love
           Em             G
Love is a sweet thing
       C Cmaj7 Am

Love is a sweet thing
