"It's because I love you"
by Master's Apprentices

This is a pretty good outline of the different parts to this old song.
Any corrections and especially the rest of the lyrics are welcome.

These tabs a for a six string, but playing them on a twelve string would make ita hell of a lot easier.

There are 3 main riffs and an easy set of chorus chords:

	riff 1		riff 2
     |--------------|------------------------|
     |--10-9--7--5--|------------------------|
     |--------------|------------------------|
     |--7--6--4--2--|---5--4--5--7--5--4--5--|
     |--------------|------------------------|
     |--------------|------------------------|

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/masters_apprentices/its_because_i_love_you_tab_ver_2.html ]
     Main riff/verse riff:  (takes a while to get used to the fingering)
        A      B    C#          E   C#    B    A
     |--------------------------12----------------------------|
     |--10-10-12-12-14-14-14-14----14-14-12-12-10-10-10-10----|
     |--------------------------9-----------------------------|
     |--7--7--9--9--11-11-11-11----11-11-9--9--7--7--7--7-----|
     |--------------------------------------------------------|
     |--------------------------------------------------------|


    just before
    the chorus
    play this note
    twice then go
    straight into
    the A chord      Chourus chords:
        C#          A     B     D     A  A6? (not sure, could be called Asus)
     |-----------|--------------2-------------|
     |-----------|--2-----------3-----2---3---|
     |--6--6-----|--2-----4-----2-----2---2---|
     |-----------|--2-----4-----------2---2---|
     |-----------|--------2-------------------|
     |-----------|----------------------------|


Lyrics from the last half of the song:

(play riff 1 twice)
(play riff 2 twice)

Main riff:
A       B      C#
Once we walked together
E    C#        B     A
>From the field up to the hill
Promised love forever
I remember that day still
It's because I love you
I'll come home to you one day
It's because I love you
In my thoughts you'll always stay

(C# note twice)

Chorus: (repeats around a dozen times then fades out)

A       A6   B                     D                     A    A6
Oooooo       Do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be, yeah
