1 -1 2 -1 2 1
If we on-ly have love
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
then to-mor-row will dawn
-1 2 -2 2 -2 -1
And the days of our years
-1 -1 -1 1 -1
will rise on that morn
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
If we on-ly have love
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
to em-brace with-out fears
-1 2 -2 2 -2 -1
We will kiss with our eyes,
-1 -1 -1 -1 1 1
we will sleep with-out tears
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
If we on-ly have love,
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
we can reach those in pain
-1 2 -2 2 -2 -1
We can heal all our wounds,
-1 -1 -1 -1 1 -1
we can use our own names
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
If we on-ly have love,
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
we can melt all the guns
-1 2 -2 2 -2 -1
And then give the new world
-1 -1 -1 -1 1 1
to our daugh-ters and sons
2 2 2 3* -4 -3
If we on-ly have love
2 2 2 3* -4 -3
with our arms o-pened wide
-3 -3 -3 -3 3 3
Then the young and the old
-1 -1 3 -2 3
will stand at our side
2 2 2 3* -4 -3
If we on-ly have love,
2 2 2 3* -4 -3
we will nev-er bow down
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -4
We’ll be tall as the pines
-4 -4 -4 -5 5 -4
Neith-er her-oes nor clowns
4 4 4 -4 4 4
If we on-ly have love
4 4 4 -4 4 4
Then we’ll on-ly be men
-5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5
And we’ll drink from the grail
-5 -5 -5 -5 5 5
to be born once a-gain
-3 3* -3 3* -3 3*
then with noth-ing at all
-3 3* -3 3* -3 3*
but the lit-tle we are
4 4 4 -4 4 -5
we’ll have con-quered all time
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 6
all space, the sun and the stars
