I wrote this with MAUI in mind. That is my friend Teresa Martin singing harmony.
lyrics
Intro: whole notes or pizzicato single notes, no bass
F C G Am-G, F C G (G)
Verse 1: whole notes or tight quarter note down strokes, add bass
F C G Am—G
Where do you stand When lines get drawn in the sand?
F C G ring two measures
When most of them just fade away
F C G Am-----—G
Even in concrete A place called the middle is where we meet
F C G G Build
And everything will be okay
Chorus:
F C Am G F C G G
How can we survive the great divide? It’s gonna take love, love, love
F C Am G F C G G
How do different sides live in peace of mind? It’s gonna take love, love, love
Interlude: F C G Am-G (*rest on beat 4)
Verse 2:
F C G Am—G
Roof and a bed Water, medicine and a belly fed
F C G G
Almost all we need at the end of the day
F C G Am—G
Well storms may come precession of blue skies and sun
F C G G Build
Or a canvas full of stars
Chorus:
F C Am G F C G G
How can we survive the great divide? It’s gonna take love, love, love
F C Am G F C G G
How do different sides live in peace of mind? It’s gonna take love, love, love
Bridge: Loud!
F C Am G
You know what’s right, you know what’s wrong
F C Am G
You know that faith is going to keep you strong
F C Am G
Do something good as you go along
F C G G
Even if we sing a different song
Chorus: quietly build!
F C Am G F C G G
How can we survive the great divide? It’s gonna take love, love, love
F C Am G F C G Am
How do different sides live in peace of mind? It’s gonna take love, love, love
Chorus/Bridge: Half sing one part, half sing the other. ALL LOUD!
F C Am G F C G G
How can we survive the great divide? It’s gonna take love, love, love
F C Am G F C G G
How do different sides live in peace of mind? It’s gonna take love, love, love
Tag/End: whole notes, quietly
F C G (ring to end)
Even if we sing a different song
