IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT OF LOVE

Music by Gordon
Words by Gordon and Apollos

Capo: 3rd Fret

(D)Servant, maid or beggarman,
Their (F#m)state is just the same,
(D)No one takes the time
To get to (F#m)know them by his name,
(Bm)Could it be that you and I
Might (F#m)be the ones to blame?
It's gonna take a (G)lot of Love
To (A)turn this World a(D)round.

(D)Western nations keep on takin'
(F#m)Much more than their share,
They (D)justify their selfish lives
By pre(F#m)tending that they care.
How (Bm)can they claim
To remove the chains
When (F#m)they have put them there?
It's gonna take a (G)lot of Love
To (A)turn this World a(D)round.

The (D)rich keep getting richer,
Keep on (F#m)taking from the poor,
They'll (D)loan you 50 dollars
And take (F#m)back 100 more.
Well, it's (Bm)bound to make you feel de-pressed,
It's (F#m)bound to make you sore.
It's gonna take a (G)lot of Love
To (A)turn this World a(D)round.

They spend (Eb)millions on new weapons
In this (Gm)modern age of man,
And can (Eb)land a man upon the moon
But (Gm)still not give a damn,
A(Cm)bout the starving children
Dying (Gm)in a foreign land!
It's gonna take a (Ab)lot of Love
To (Bb)turn this World a(Eb)round.

[Musical Interlude:]
(Eb)-(Gm)-(Eb)-(Gm)-(Cm)-(Gm)-(Ab)-(Bb)-(Eb)

In the (E)pages of the sages
(G#m)I've seen something great,
It (E)won't be long till Love will come
And (G#m)wipe away all hate.
Then (C#m)perfect peace
Will make wars cease,
Evil (G#m)men will meet their fate,
And (A)real Love at last
Will (B)turn this World a(E)round.

Well, you (E)say, until that day,
Is there (G#m)something we can do?
(E)Yes, you can receive the Man
Who (G#m)lived the golden rule,
Then (C#m)do unto your neighbor
Like you'd (G#m)wish he'd do to you.

It's gonna take a (A)lot of Love
To (B)turn this World a(E)round.
[Three times]
