CAPO 1st
Six foot [(C)]six, he stood on the ground
Weighed two hundred and thirty five pounds
But I saw that g[(Dm)]iant of a man brought d[(G)]own to his knees by l[(C)]ove.
He was the kinda man that would gamble on luck
look you in the eye, and never back up
but I saw him crying like a little whipped pup, because of love.
(CHORUS)
Can't see it with your [(C)]eyes, hold it in your h[(F)]and
but like the w[(Em)]ind that cover our l[(Am)]and
strong enough to [(F)]rule the heart of any [(Dm)]man, this thing called l[(G)]ove.
It can lift you [(C)]up, it can let you d[(F)]own
take your w[(Em)]orld, and turn it all ar[(Am)]ound
Ever since t[(C)]ime nothing's ever been f[(G)]ound, stronger than l[(C)]ove.
Most me are like me, they struggle in doubt
they trouble their mind day in and day out,
too busy with living to worry about, a word called love.
But when I see a Mother's tenderness,
as she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank God that this world's been blessed, by a word called love.
(TO CHORUS)
