----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps Love - John Denver ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By: JohnnySZS Notes: Hello, this is my first tab I made mostly by ear from videos. Chords courtesy of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjWg-f_V-GE This is song is very simple once you know the chords and sounds great when you fingerpick it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Any time your playing a chord, you can switch up the top three notes. | | Example: For a C chord, instead of playing C, G, high C, then high E, | | you can play C, G, high E, then high C, or C, high E, high C, then G. | | It doesn't really matter. It's up to your interpretation. | | Mixing it up sounds nice. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope you enjoy!

Perhaps an open door It invites you to come closer It wants to show you more And even if you lose yourself And don't know what to do The memory of love will see you through >TO CHORUS VERSE 3: Perhaps love is like the ocean Full of conflict, full of pain Like a fire when it's cold outside Thunder when it rains If I should live forever And all my dreams come true My memories of love will be of you >TO CHORUS 2 CHORUS: Bm (x24432@1) EmOh (022000@1)Love to some is like a cloud C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) GTo (320003@1)some as strong as steel Bm (x24432@1) EmFor (022000@1)some a way of living C
