[Intro]
 
E   D   (x3) 

[Verse 1]
 
E
Love is but the song we sing,
                      D
And fear's the way we die.
E
You can make the mountains ring,
                   D
Or make the angels cry.
E
Though the bird is on the wing,
                     E
And you may not know why.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A                 B
C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
     E                         A
everybody get together, try to love one
  B           E
another right now.
 
Some may come and some may go,
We will surely pass.
When the one that left us here,
returns for us at last.
We are but a moments sunlight,
fading in the grass.

C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
everybody get together, try to love one
another right now.
 
C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
everybody get together, try to love one
another right now.
 
[Interlude] 
E   D   (x3)
 
If you hear the song I sing,
You will understand... listen
You hold the key to love and fear,
All in your trembling hand.
Just one key unlocks them both,
It's there at your command.
 
C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
everybody get together, try to love one
another right now.
 
C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
everybody get together, try to love one
another right now.
 
C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
everybody get together, try to love one
another right now.
Right now, right now.....
