Concrete And Clay Tab

by Unit Four Plus Two


Two versions of this battled it out on the US charts: one by the composer,
Eddie Rambeau, and a cover by the Unit 4+2.  This transcription is of the
latter, which was probably recorded in C and sped up to Db for the single.


                          "Concrete And Clay"
                            (Eddie Rambeau)

Intro:

	cowbell and finger cymbal [4 bars]

	
	/ / / /   / / / /   / / / /   / / / /

Verse 1:

	
	You to me
	              
	Are sweet as roses in the morning
	    
	And you to me
	                           
	Are soft as summer [unintelligible] in love we share
	      
	That something rare

Chorus:

	     
	The sidewalks in the street
	                                    
	The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
	          
	Begins to crumble
	                   
	But love will never die
	                               
	Because we'll see the mountains tumble
	                 
	Before we say goodbye

	            
	My love and I will be
	            /
	In love eternally
	 
	That's the way
	                 
	Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be

Verse 2:

	All around
	I see the purple shades of evening
	And on the ground
	The shadows fall and once again you're in my arms
	So tenderly

[repeat chorus]

Instrumental break:

	(acoustic guitar solo over verse chords)

[repeat chorus]

Coda

	     
	And that's the way
	            
	That's the way it's meant to be

	That's the way
	(that's the way it's meant to be)
	Whoa, that's the way
	That's the way it's meant to be   [fade]
