It Must Be Love- Rickie Lee Jones, Graham Ransford
tabbed by burpo please rate/comment thanks!

It must be love that whispers in my ear
It must be love that we keep trying to hear
’cause I imagined this kind of wonderful choice
I imagine you hear the very same voice
When I speak to you, you say “That’s just my imagination”
Oh no, no, no, It Must Be Love, It Must Be Love

Perhaps one girl who was moving in a fine line
Finds one boy in back that she can always stand behind
And it’s you and me and that’s where we want to be
Ooh, It Must Be Love, Oh, It Must Be Love

People look through everything they see
’cause there’s so many other things to be
I have seen you walking in the rain
and I want to know why you were crying
I wanna fix what’s wrong

It must be love the sailor sails for
Must be love that drives a bottle
to the bottom of the ocean floor
Because I imagine all kinds of wonderful water
I would have you there wherever I’ll go
Way from the seventh sea
He brings the bottle back to me
Oh, It Must Be Love, Oh, It Must Be Love

People look through everything they see
There’s so many other things to be
I have seen you walking in the rain
I want to know why you were crying
Baby, let me fix what’s wrong

It must be love that fathoms the moonlight
Must be love that shallows the deepest part of the night
So you can show them with your eye
The things that make them cry,
Because that Must Be Love
It Must Be Love…
And the way you are
Must Be Love …And the things you Feel
Oh, It Must Be Love, Oh, It Must Be Love
Must Be Love

Don’t feel bad
Cos the sun went down
The night has wealth un-told
Well just keep watching
And you soon will see
The moon is made of gold

So now the stars ap-pear as they do
Heaven they un-fold (yeah)
But don’t feel bad
Because the sun went down
D6 Gm Dmaj7 (opt. bass line: A F# A Bb B)
The moon is made of gold

See how the shadows
Enhanced by the light above
Dance in the night as the breezes sig[/E]h [/D][/C#]
Soon you will be asleep
And into your dreams will creep
Visions of fair-ies flying through the skies

And one by one
Your dreams will all come true
Magic you?ll be-hold, yes
Don’t feel bad
Because the sun went down
The moon is made of gold

inst over first 2 A sections

See how the shadows
Enhanced by the light above
Dance in the night as the breezes sig[/E]h [/D][/C#]
Soon you will be asleep
And into your dreams will creep
Visions of fairies flying through the skies

And one by one
Your dreams will all come true
The night has a treasure in store for you
The night is magic
And the moon is made of gold
Gm7 C7 D opt.: Dmaj7
The moon is made of go-old

———-

a note to beginners:
You can play a D chord wherever it says D6 or Dmaj7, but it sounds so much
prettier with the extensions as written. Don’t be shy about those bar chords on
Gm7 and C7, either! You’re going to learn them sooner or later.

Didnt you hear?
Black is a criminal,
White is a crime,
Poison is the pen
Writing down this childrens nursery rhyme.
Didnt you see him standing next to me?
The seeds of change have grown,
We dont have to hide anymore.

Lololololololo, that means trouble from the other side,
Lololololololo, maybe the trouble of a hopeful heart.

It doesnt take much to see
If youre looking for an enemy,
Greed and apathy
Spell the letters of our name.
You sit and laugh at other people,
Making money off their shame and sorrow,
Waiting for tomorrow to fix itself.

Lololololololo, that means trouble from the other side,
Lololololololo, maybe the trouble of a hopeful heart.

Its a dark night to feed a stranger,
I dont have enough to feed myself.
I keep trying to believe in believing
In something I cant see
From where I stand,
I pull it with my faith,
With the smile on my face.

Its gonna take a lot more
Than you might be used to,
Whos to blame for not standing up for them
When it was not in style?
When hope is the color of a man
The color of love is the color that can
Stand for something.

Lololololololo, that means trouble from the other side,
Lololololololo, may be trouble of a hopeful heart.
Lololololololo, the trouble of a hopeful heart,
A hopeful heart, it could be a hopeful heart.

Verse 1:

A long stretch of headlights bends into I-9

Tiptoe into truckstops

And sleepy diesel riders

Volcanoes rumble in the taxi and glow in the dark

Camels in the driver’s seat

A slow easy mark

Bridge:

But you ran outta gas down the a piece

And then the battery went dead

Now the cable won’t reach It’s your

Chorus:

Verse 2:

Well, he tried to be Standard
He tried to be Mobil
He tried living in a world
And in a shell
There was this block-busted blonde
He loved her – free parts and labor
But she broke down and died
And threw all the rods he gave her

Bridge 2:

But this one ain’t fuel-injected
Her plug’s disconnected
She gets scared and she stalls
She just needs a man, that’s all

Chorus 2:

It’s her last chance
Her timing’s all wrong
Her last chance
She can’t idle this long
Her last chance
Turn her over and go
Pullin’ out of the last chance texaco
The last chance
