Thought this needed putting up, one of the best songs of all time.
There's a middle eight/lead break which I haven't worked out, but there's enough
here to strum and sing to.
Verse is just the E chord, live Mr McNabb plays the little melody riff over the bass.



E
My friend and I, were talking one evening,
Beside some burning wood,
Trading tales of places we came upon,
When the times were good,

E
Spoke of a girl he viewed like no other,
Whom he had come to know, I swallowed hard and listened intently,
Resigned beside the glow

C
Always there, it's standing proudly,
Am
When all else falls down,
C
It's all around you, didn't it find you,
         Am
When you said you couldn't be found,

E                             F#m
When love calls me, I will be running swiftly,
             B                G#m         C#m
To find out, just what all the fuss is all about,
E                         F#m
Unrelentless, deep in the strangest feelings,
Believe me,
B               G#m       C#m
Love is full of wonderful colours

I insist that you pick the wrong one,
To preach your theories to,
Simmer down, we'll run for a reason,
To see what faith can do,

Love is a beacon, on the horizon,
Watch when you touch down,
Reality finds you fumbling for reasons,
When the chance comes 'round

When love calls me, I will be running swiftly,
To find out, just what all the fuss is all about,
Unrelentless, deep in the strangest feelings,
Believe me,
Love is full of wonderful colour

E 
Take my confidence to guide you,
F#m
Through the fallen hope inside you,
B               G#m       C#m
Love is full of wonderful colour

Take my confidence to guide you,
Through the fallen hope inside you,
Love is full of wonderful colour
