Intro
[Gmaj7] [G7] [Cmaj7]
Do do do do, mmm-mmm-mmm,
[Gmaj7] [G7] [Cmaj7]
Do do do, do do do.
Verse 1
[Gmaj7] [G7] [Cmaj7]
As a-round the sun, the earth knows she's re-volving,
[Gmaj7] [Fmaj7]
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May.
[Gmaj7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [C6]
Just as hate knows love's the cure; you can rest your mind assure,
[Em7] [F#m7] [B7] [Em7] [Em6] [Am] [D7]
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
Verse 2
[Gmaj7] [G7] [Cmaj7]
As now can't reveal the mystery of to-morrow,
[Gmaj7] [Fmaj7]
But in passing will grow older every day.
[Gmaj7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [C6]
Just as all that's born is new, you know what I say is true;
[Em7] [F#m7] [B7] [Em]
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
Chorus 1
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the dolphin flies, and parrots live at sea, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [C#9+11]
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream.
Bridge 1
[Cmaj7] [Gmaj7]
Did you know that true love asks for nothing?
[Cmaj7] [Fmaj7]
Her acceptance is the way we pay.
[Cmaj7] [Gmaj7]
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee?
[Am7] [Bsus] [B] [Am9] [D13]
To last through for-ever another day.
Verse 3
[Gmaj7] [G7] [Cmaj7]
Just as time knew to move on since the be-ginning,
[Gmaj7] [Fmaj7]
And the seasons know exactly when to change.
[Gmaj7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [C6]
Just as kindness knows no shame; know through all your joy and pain;
[Em7] [F#m7] [B7] [Em7] [Em6] [Am] [D7]
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
Verse 4
[Gmaj7] [G7] [Cmaj7]
As to-day I know I'm living, but to-morrow;
[Gmaj7] [Fmaj7]
Could make me the past; but that I mustn't fear.
[Gmaj7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [C6]
For I'll know deep in my mind; the love of me I've left be-hind;;
[Em7] [F#m7] [B7] [Em]
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
Chorus 2
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the day is night and night becomes the day, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the trees and sea just up and fly a-way, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the day, that is the day that are no more, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the earth just for the sun, denies it-self, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the day that you are me and I am you, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).

[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Ah We all know, some-times life's hates and troubles,
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Can make you wish you were born in a-nother time and space.
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
But you can bet your life, times that, and twice it's double;
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
That God knew ex-actly where he wanted you to be placed.
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
So make sure, when you say you're in it, but not out of it,
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
You're not helping to make this Earth a place sometimes called Hell.
[Em] [B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
Change your words into truths, and then change that truth into love,
[Em]
And maybe our children's grandchildren,
[B7/F#] [G6] [A7]
And their great-great grandchildren will tell. Ahh I'll be lovin you
