Perhaps Love by John Denver

Tabs

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Perhaps Love - John Denver
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed By: JohnnySZS
Notes: Hello, this is my first tab I made mostly by ear from videos. Chords courtesy of
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjWg-f_V-GE
This is song is very simple once you know the chords and sounds great when you fingerpick it!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Any time your playing a chord, you can switch up the top three notes. |
| Example: For a Chord diagramC majorC chord, instead of playing C, G, high C, then high E, |
| you can play C, G, high E, then high C, or C, high E, high C, then G. |
| It doesn't really matter. It's up to your interpretation.       |
| Mixing it up sounds nice.                       |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics (Try to follow along, phrases preceded by a > is a direction):

VERSE 1:

Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramE minorEm
Perhaps love is like a resting place
  Chord diagramC majorC        Chord diagramD MajorD
Chord diagramA augmentedA shelter from the storm
  Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramE minorEm
It exists to give you comfort
    Chord diagramC majorC        Chord diagramD MajorD
It is there to keep you warm
 Chord diagramB minorBm     Chord diagramE minorEm
And in those times of trouble
   Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramD MajorD
When you are most alone
   Chord diagramAm7Am7    Chord diagramD7D7         Chord diagramG+G
The memory of love will bring you home

>TO VERSE 2

VERSE 2:

Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

>TO CHORUS

VERSE 3:

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

>TO CHORUS 2

CHORUS:

Chord diagramB minorBm       Chord diagramE minorEm
Oh Love to some is like a cloud
  Chord diagramC majorC    Chord diagramD MajorD     Chord diagramG+G
To some as strong as steel
  Chord diagramB minorBm       Chord diagramE minorEm
For some a way of living
   Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramD MajorD   Chord diagramG+G
For some a way to feel
   Chord diagramB minorBm       Chord diagramE minorEm
And some say love is holding on
   Chord diagramC majorC    Chord diagramD MajorD    Chord diagramG+G
And some say letting go
   Chord diagramB minorBm       Chord diagramE minorEm
And some say love is everything
 Chord diagramAm7Am7         Chord diagramD7D7
Some say they don't know

>TO VERSE 3

CHORUS 2:

And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
Some say they don't know

>TO VERSE 3 AND FINISH
