(verse 1) 
         C                          Am7 
He was sitting on a corner with a bottle of beer, 
         Bb                            G 
And the same shopping cart he'd been pushing for years, 
        C 
A big smile on his face,  
          Am7 
Like the first day of spring,  
          Bb  
All the people looked the other way,  
          G 
but they heard him sing, and he sang,  
 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
C - Am7            Em7       G 
Lo--ve, love is a sweet thing, 
  
He sang love,  
C - Am7      Em7       G 
Lo--ve is a sweet thing,  
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
     C 
She shot out of Texas,  
         Am7 
Like a bullet from a gun,  
       Bb                         G 
With a van full of hippies and a band on the run,  
            C 
She didn't want to be famous,  
          Am7  
She just wanted to play,  
        Bb                           G 
In old dive bars and pool halls she got up on stage,  
 
And she sang,  
 
 
 
(chorus) 
C - Am7            Em7       G 
Lo--ve, love is a sweet thing, 
  
She sang love,  
C - Am7      Em7          G 
Lo--ve is a sweet, sweet thing, 
 
 
 
(bridge) 
        F       
It's everywhere you look,  
        Fm 
If you look hard enough,  
      C 
Its really not hard to see,  
                F 
Yeah, once you put your arms around it,  
         Fm 
You can never get too much,  
G                       G7 
Love is a sweet, sweet thing,  
 
 
 
(lead chords - C - Am7 - Em7 - G = 2x's) 
 
 
              F 
It's in the smile of a stranger, 
        Fm 
In the eyes of a child, 
        C 
On the corner of a crowded street,  
       F 
Its everywhere around us,  
      Fm 
Its always growing wild,  
G                        G7 
Love is a sweet, sweet thing,  
 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
C - Am7            Em7       G 
Lo--ve, love is a sweet thing, 
  
I sang love, love, love,  
C - Am7      Em7          G 
Lo--ve is a sweet, sweet thing, 
 
 
 
 
         C           Am7 
I sang, love, love, love, 
           Em7           G 
Love is a sweet, sweet thing  
C - Am7            Em7       G 
Lo--ve, love is a sweet thing, 
I sang love, 
C - Am7      Em7          G 
Lo--ve is a sweet, sweet thing,
