---(capo 4th fret)---  


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,
