Standard (EADGBE)

Love is but a song we sing,

 Hear a way we die.

You can make the mountains ring,

Hear the angels cry.

Tho' the dove is on the wing

 You need not know why.

Hey, people now,

Smile on your brother.

 Let me see you get together,

Love one another right now.

Some will come and some will go,

 We shall surely pass.

When the wind that left us here,

 Returns for us at last.

We are but a moment's sunlight,

 Fading on the grass.

Hey, people now,

Smile on your brother.

 Let me see you get together,

Love one another right now.

Hey, people now,

Smile on your brother.

 Let me see you get together,

Love one another right now.

If you hear the song I'm singing,

 You will understand.

You hold the key to love and fear,

 All in your trembling hand.

One key unlocks them both, you know,

 It's at your command.

Hey, people now,

Smile on your brother.

 Let me see you get together,

Love one another right now.
