Lyrics: 
        D7#9
Say the word and you'll be free say the word and be like me
        G7                            D7#9 
Say the word I'm thinking of have you heard the word is love

     Asus A
It's so   fine 
     Gsus G
It's sun  shine
         D7#9
It's the word love

D7                 C9            F6                   G7
In the beginning I misunderstood but now I got it the word is good

        D7#9
Spread the word and you'll be free spread the word and be like me
            G7                            D7#9 
Spread the word I'm thinking of have you heard the word is love

(chorus)

D7                 C9          F6                        G7
Everywhere I go I hear it said in the good and bad books that I have read

        D7#9
Say the word and you'll be free say the word and be like me
        G7                            D7#9 
Say the word I'm thinking of have you heard the word is love

(chorus)

D7                     C9                 F6                   G7
Now that I know what I feel must be right I'm here to show everybody the light

        D7#9
Give the word a chance to say that the word is just the way
         G7                            D7#9 
It's the word I'm thinking of and the only word is love

(chorus)

        D7#9       D7  C9  F6  G7  D7#9
Say the word love
