      LOVE IS THE WAY

Verse 1: (Johnny)
      D                          G               	 
	Deep in the heart of the infinite darkness
           D                    E                A
	A tiny blue marble is spinning through space
         D                       G
	Born in the splendor of God's holy vision
              D                  A             D   
	And sliding away like a tear down his face


Verse 2: (Johnny)
      D       G                  D   
	The closer you see the whole wide holy wonder
                                     E           A
	Of oceans and mountains and rivers and trees
                   D                   G 
	And the strangest creation of many,the human
            D                        A           D
	A creature of laughter and Freedom and dreams


Verse 3: (A tone higher) (Waylon)
      E                                   A
	Now the warriors are waving their old rusty sabres
              E                          F#        B 
	And preachers are preaching the gospel of hate
         E                         A 
	By their behavior they're determined to teach us
           E                       B            E
	A lesson we're soon to be learning too late


Verse 4: (Johnny)
      E        A                       E
	Look closer my brother, we're killing each other
                                       F#       B
	And we'd better stop and get started today
                 E                        A
	Because life is the question and life is the answer
             E                     B           E
	And God is the reason and love is the way.

                                          A
	Because life is the question and life is the answer
             E                     B           E  
	And God is the reason and love is the way.
