Intro:

      cowbell and finger cymbal [4 bars]

      G5
      / / / /   / / / /   / / / /   / / / /

Verse 1:

      G5
      You to me
                    C5
      Are sweet as roses in the morning
          G5
      And you to me
                    C5             F5
      Are soft as summer [unintelligible] in love we share
            E5
      That something rare

Chorus:

           D5
      The sidewalks in the street
           G5                               C5
      The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
                A5
      Begins to crumble
           F5              G5
      But love will never die
                      C5               A5
      Because we'll see the mountains tumble
         F5              G5
      Before we say goodbye

                  F5
      My love and I will be
          E5        G5
      In love eternally
       G5
      That's the way
                       C5
      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

           G5
      And that's the way
                  C5
      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]
