Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[G]Do do do [C]do, mmm-mmm-mmm. [G]Do do do, do [C]do do. As [G]around the sun, the earth knows she’s [C]revolving, And the [G]rosebuds know to bloom in early [F]May. Just as [G]hate knows love’s the cure; you can [C]rest your mind assure, That [Em]I’ll be loving [F#m]you [B]always. [Em] [Am] [D]

As now [G]can’t reveal the mystery of [C]tomorrow, But in [G]passing will grow older every [F]day. Just as [G]all that’s born is new, you know [C]what I say is true; That [Em]I’ll be loving [F#m]you [B]always [Em].

[Em]Until the [B]rainbow burns the [G]stars out of the [A]sky, (always). [Em]Until the [B]ocean covers [G]every mountain [A]high, (always). [Em]Until the [B]dolphin flies, and [G]parrots live at [A]sea, (always). [Em]Until we [B]dream of life and [G]life becomes a [C#]dream.

[C]Did you know that true love asks for [G]nothing? [C]Her acceptance is the way we [F]pay. [C]Did you know that life has given [G]love a guarantee? To last through [Am]forever another [B]day. [Am] [D]

Just as [G]time knew to move on since the [C]beginning, And the [G]seasons know exactly when to [F]change. Just as [G]kindness knows no shame; know through [C]all your joy and pain; That [Em]I’ll be loving [F#m]you [B]always. [Em] [Am] [D]

As [G]today I know I’m living, but [C]tomorrow; Could make [G]me the past; but that I mustn’t [F]fear. For I’ll [G]know deep in my mind; the love of [C]me I’ve left be-hind;; That [Em]I’ll be loving [F#m]you [B]always. [Em]

[Em]Until the [B]day is night and [G]night becomes the [A]day, (always). [Em]Until the [B]trees and sea just [G]up and fly [A]away, (always). [Em]Until the [B]day that [G]8x8x8 is [A]4, (always). [Em]Until the [B]day, that is the [G]day that are no [A]more, (always). [Em]Until the [B]day the earth starts [G]turning right to [A]left, (always). [Em]Until the [B]earth just for the [G]sun, denies [A]itself, (always). [Em]Until dear [B]Mother Nature [G]says her work is [A]through, (always). [Em]Until the [B]day that you are [G]me and I am [A]you, (always). [Em]Until the [B]rainbow burns the [G]stars out of the [A]sky, (always). [Em]Until the [B]ocean covers every [G]mountain [A]high, (always).

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

[Em]Until the [B]rainbow burns the [G]stars out of the [A]sky, (always). [Em]Until the [B]ocean covers every [G]mountain [A]high, (always). [Em]Until the [B]dolphin flies, and [G]parrots live at [A]sea, (always). [Em]Until we [B]dream of life and [G]life becomes a [A]dream. [Em]Until the [B]day is night and [G]night becomes the [A]day, (always). [Em]Until the [B]trees and sea just [G]up and fly [A]away [Em]Until the [B]day that [G]8x8x8 is [A]4, (always). [Em]Until the [B]day, that is the [G]day that are no [A]more, (always). [Em]Until the [B]day the earth starts [G]turning right to [A]left, (always). [Em]Until the [B]earth just for the [G]sun, denies [A]itself, (always). [Em]Until dear [B]Mother Nature [G]says her work is [A]through, (always). [Em]Until the [B]day that you are [G]me and I am [A]you, (always). [Em]Until the [B]rainbow burns the [G]stars out of the [A]sky, (always). [Em]Until the [B]ocean covers [G]every mountain [A]high, (always).
