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]

Coda:

	          ()             
	... right now, right now
