--------------------------------------------------------------------------- God is Love (single version) - Marvin Gaye ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Gaye/Gordy Gaye/Stover/Nyx
B-side of the single "What's Going On" (1971)
Tabbed by: maguri
This is NOT the album version but the recording that was used for the 
B-Side of the Single "What's Going On". This recording is now a bonus 
track on the remastered CD of the album.
I just like that version better, which is why I chose to tab it. The album version is in the key of Eb. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
