--------................. *from 'Songs in the Key of Life' (1976)* (Original Key: B) [Intro]
Gmaj7   G7    Cmaj7
     Do do do do, mmm-mmm-mmm,

Gmaj7    G7        Cmaj7
      Do do do, do do do.
[Verse 1]
     Gmaj7              G7                   Cmaj7
As a-round the sun, the earth knows she's re-volving,

        Gmaj7                           Fmaj7
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May.

        Gmaj7                 G7            Cmaj7            C6
Just as hate knows love's the cure; you can rest your mind assure,

     Em7            F#m7 B7 Em7  Em6  Am  D7
That I'll be loving you  al-ways.
[Verse 2]
       Gmaj7            G7            Cmaj7
As now can't reveal the mystery of to-morrow,

       Gmaj7                         Fmaj7
But in passing will grow older every day.

        Gmaj7              G7            Cmaj7         C6
Just as all that's born is new, you know what I say is true;

     Em7            F#m7 B7 Em
That I'll be loving you  al-ways.
[Chorus 1]
Em           B7/F#             G6               A7
   Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).

Em           B7/F#        G6             A7
   Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).

Em           B7/F#              G6              A7
   Until the dolphin flies, and parrots live at sea, (always).

Em          B7/F#             G6             C#9+11
   Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream.
[Bridge 1]
Cmaj7                                     Gmaj7
     Did you know that true love asks for nothing?

Cmaj7                             Fmaj7
     Her acceptance is the way we pay.

Cmaj7                                 Gmaj7
     Did you know that life has given love a guarantee?

                    Am7          Bsus  B  Am9  D13
To last through for-ever another day.
[Verse 3]
        Gmaj7             G7              Cmaj7
Just as time knew to move on since the be-ginning,

        Gmaj7                        Fmaj7
And the seasons know exactly when to change.

        Gmaj7             G7                  Cmaj7            C6
Just as kindness knows no shame; know through all your joy and pain;

     Em7            F#m7 B7 Em7  Em6  Am  D7
That I'll be loving you  al-ways.
[Verse 4]
      Gmaj7          G7             Cmaj7
As to-day I know I'm living, but to-morrow;

           Gmaj7                           Fmaj7
Could make me the past; but that I mustn't fear.

         Gmaj7           G7                Cmaj7           C6
For I'll know deep in my mind; the love of me I've left be-hind;;

     Em7            F#m7 B7 Em
That I'll be loving you  al-ways.
[Chorus 2]
Em          B7/F#            G6                A7
  Until the day is night and night becomes the day, (always).

Em          B7/F#              G6           A7
  Until the trees and sea just up and fly a-way, (always).

Em          B7/F#      G6     A7
  Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4, (always).

Em          B7/F#            G6              A7
  Until the day, that is the day that are no more, (always).

Em          B7/F#                G6               A7
  Until the day the earth starts turning right to left, (always).

Em          B7/F#              G6              A7
  Until the earth just for the sun, denies it-self, (always).

Em           B7/F#         G6               A7
  Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through, (always).

Em          B7/F#            G6          A7
  Until the day that you are me and I am you, (always).

Em          B7/F#             G6               A7
  Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).

Em          B7/F#              G6       A7
  Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).
[Break] | Em | B7/F# | G6 | A7 | x12
           Em         B7/F#                  G6        A7
Ah  We all know, some-times life's hates and troubles,

             Em                      B7/F#           G6     A7 
Can make you wish you were born in a-nother time and space.

            Em                   B7/F#                G6      A7 
But you can bet your life, times that, and twice it's double;

                 Em             B7/F#            G6      A7
That God knew ex-actly where he wanted you to be placed.

              Em                  B7/F#          G6        A7
So make sure, when you say you're in it, but not out of it,

           Em                           B7/F#                  G6    A7
You're not helping to make this Earth a place sometimes called Hell.

            Em         B7/F#                   G6              A7
Change your words into truths, and then change that truth into love,

              Em
And maybe our children's grandchildren,

    B7/F#                                G6       A7
And their great-great grandchildren will tell.        Ahh I'll be lovin you
