*lyrics from stlyrics.com, and OF COURSE, from the fabulous musical RENT*


it's basically E-D-A the whole song----such a great chord progression, no matter 
what fret the capo's on :)

CAPO 1st fret

Intro:
E D A (repeat)

 E            D            
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
 A           E
Six hundred minutes,
 E            D

Six hundred minutes
    E       D        A         E
How do you measure, measure a year?

    E             D           A
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
   E
In cups of coffee
    E          D         A            E
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

    E            D
In five hundred twenty-five thousand
 A           E
Six hundred minutes
   E        D
How do you measure
  A     
A year in the life?

E         D-A-E
How about love?
E         D-A-E
How about love?
E         D-A-E             A
How about love? Measure in love

E          D-A-E  E         D-A-E
Seasons of love. Seasons of love...

(okay, i think you get it by now. it's E D A E the whole song.)

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes!
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?


In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.


It's time now to sing out,
Tho' the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Seasons of love!


Oh you got to got to
Remember the love!
You know that love is a gift from up above
Share love, give love spread love
Measure measure your life in love.


--This song is great in the movie and on stage, but playing it with an acoustic 
guitar is just wonderful!!!--
