*from 'Songs In The Key Of Life' (1976)*
*CAPO 4th FRET*
(Original Key: B)
Intro:
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7
Do do do do, mmm-mmm-mmm,
Gmaj7 G7 Cmaj7
Do do do, do do do.
Verse 1:
Gmaj7
As a-round the sun,
G7 Cmaj7
The earth knows she's re-volving,
Gmaj7
And the rosebuds,
Fmaj7
Know to bloom in early May.
Gmaj7 G7
Just as hate knows love's the cure;
Cmaj7 C6
You can rest your mind assure,
Em B7 Em A Am D7
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
Verse 2:
Gmaj7
As now can't reveal,
G7 Cmaj7
The mystery of to-morrow,
Gmaj7
But in passing,
Fmaj7
Will grow older every day.
Gmaj7 G7
Just as all, is new;
Cmaj7 C6
You know what I say is true.
Em F#m7
That I'll be loving you always.
Chorus 1:
Em E+
Until the rainbow,
Em7 A7
Burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
Em E+
Until the ocean,
Em7 A7
Covers every mountain high, (always).
Em E+
Until the dolphin flies,
Em7 A7
And parrots live at sea, (always).
Em E+
Until we dream of life,
Em7 C#
And life becomes a dream.
Bridge 1:
Cmaj7
Did you know that,
Gmaj7
True love asks for nothing?
Cmaj7
Her acceptance,
Fmaj7
Is the way we pay.
Cmaj7
Did you know that,
Gmaj7
Life has given love a guarantee?
Am7
To last through for-ever,
Bsus B Dsus D
And another day.
Verse 3:
Gmaj7
Just as time knew,
G7 Cmaj7
To move on since the be-gininning,
Gmaj7
And the seasons,
Fmaj7
Know exactly when to change.
Gmaj7 G7
Just as kindness knows no shame;
Cmaj7 C6
Know through all your joy and pain;
Em B7 Em A Am D7
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
Verse 4:
Gmaj7
As to-day I know,
G7 Cmaj7
I'm living, but to-morrow;
Gmaj7
Could make me the past,
Fmaj7
But that I mustn't fear.
Gmaj7 G7
For I'll know deep in my mind;
Cmaj7 C6
The love of me I've left be-hind;
Em F#m7
That I'll be loving you always.
Chorus 2:
Em E+
Until the day is night,
Em7 A7
And night becomes the day, (always).
Em E+
Until the trees and sea,
Em7 A7
Just up and fly a-way, (always).
Em E+ Em7 A7
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4, (always).
Em E+
Until the day, that is the day,
A7
That are no more, (always).
Em E+
Until the day the earth starts,
Em7 A7
Turning right to left, (always).
Em E+ Em7
Until the earth just for the sun,
A7
Denies it-self, (always).
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/stevie_wonder/as_crd_ver_2.html ]
Em E+
Until dear Mother Nature,
Em7
Says her work is through, (always).
Em E+ Em7
Until the day that you are me,
A7
And I am you, (always).
Em E+
Until the rainbow,
Em7 A7
Burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
Em E+
Until the ocean,
Em7 A7
Covers every mountain high, (always).
Break:
Em E+
We all know, some-times life's,
Em7 A7
Hates and troubles,
Em
Can make you wish you were born,
E+ Em7 A7
In a-nother time and space.
Em E+
But you can bet your life times,
Em7 A7
That and twice it's double;
Em
That God knew ex-actly where,
E+ Em7 A7
He wanted you to be placed.
Em
So make sur when you say,
E+ Em7 A7
You're in it, but not of it,
Em
You're not helping to make this,
E+ Em7 A7
Earth a place sometimes called Hell.
Em E+
Change your words into truths,
Em7 A7
And then change that truth into love,
Em
And maybe our children's grandchildren,
E+ Em7 A7
And their great-great grandchildren will tell.
Coda:
Em E+
Until the rainbow,
Em7 A7
Burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
Em E+
Until the ocean,
Em7 A7
Covers every mountain high, (always).
Em E+
Until the dolphin flies,
Em7 A7
