[Intro]
E2 E+ Amaj7 C+/A
E2 E+ Amaj7 B9sus4
[Verse 1]
E C#m9
Love is a beautiful thing
A B7
Hugging, kissing, laughing, holding hands
E C#m9
Love is a beautiful thing
A B7 Cdim7 C#m7
Unless it’s you loving another man
F#7
Then I can’t stand to see you
A B7 Cdim7 C#m7
Hugging, kissing, laughing, holding hands
F#7
If it’s not me, you see,
A B9sus4
How could that be a thing of beauty?
[2nd half of Intro]
E2 E+ Amaj7 B9sus4
[Verse 2]
E C#m9
Love is a beautiful thing
A B7
Birds are singing songs down from the trees
E C#m9
Love is a beautiful thing
A B7 Cdim7 C#m7
The breeze is blowing, rustling autumn leaves
F#7
But if those leaves are rustling
A B7 Cdim7 C#m7
Underneath somebody else’s feet
F#7
Then it’s not me, you see
A B9sus4 B9sus4
How could that be a thing of beauty?
[Bridge]
Am9 Am7 E/G#
I find comfort in believing
Am9 Am7 Am6 B7sus2
Over time, I’ll come to see, someday
B7sus2
How love could be that way
[Solo]
E C#m9 A B7
E C#m9 A B7
[Verse 3]
E C#m9
Love is a beautiful thing
A B7
Winter’s rage has softened into spring
E C#m9
Love is a beautiful thing
A B7 Cdim7 C#m7
And on your hand I see that there’s a ring
F#7
And I would understand,
A B7 Cdim7 C#m7
If I had put that ring upon your hand
F#7
But it was not me, you see,
A B9sus4
So how could that be a thing of beauty?
[Outro]
E2 E+ Amaj7 C+/A
Uh-huh
E2 E+ Amaj7 C+/A
No... I just can’t see
E2 E+ Amaj7 C+/A
I... I just can’t see
E2 E+ Amaj7 B9sus4
No no no... How could love be…
E
