INTRO - C - Am7 - Bb - G = 2x's

verse 1

         C                          Am7
He was sitting on a corner with a bottle of beer,
         Bb                            G
And the same shopping cart he'd been pushing for years,
        C
A big smile on his face, 
          Am7
Like the first day of spring, 
          Bb 
All the people looked the other way, 
          G
but they heard him sing, and he sang, 

(chorus)

C - Am7            Em7       G
Lo--ve, love is a sweet thing,
 
He sang love, 
C - Am7      Em7       G
Lo--ve is a sweet thing, 

verse 2

     C
She shot out of Texas, 
         Am7
Like a bullet from a gun, 
       Bb                         G
With a van full of hippies and a band on the run, 
            C
She didn't want to be famous, 
          Am7 
She just wanted to play, 
        Bb                           G
In old dive bars and pool halls she got up on stage, 

And she sang, 

(chorus)

C - Am7            Em7       G
Lo--ve, love is a sweet thing,
 
She sang love, 
C - Am7      Em7          G
Lo--ve is a sweet, sweet thing,

(bridge)

        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, 

(lead chords - C - Am7 - Em7 - G = 2x's)


              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, 

(chorus)

C - Am7            Em7       G
Lo--ve, love is a sweet thing,
 
I sang love, love, love, 
C - Am7      Em7          G
Lo--ve is a sweet, sweet thing,


         C           Am7
I sang, love, love, love,
           Em7           G
Love is a sweet, sweet thing 
C - Am7            Em7       G
Lo--ve, love is a sweet thing,
I sang love,
C - Am7      Em7          G
Lo--ve is a sweet, sweet thing
