[Verse 1]
G
Stone love, she kneels before the grave,
G/F# Em                                  D   C
A    brave son who gave his life to save the slogan...
                                          G    Bm
That hovers between the headstone and her eyes-----,
                                         (Soul love!)
                       Am      D
For they penetrate her griev - ing
                      (Soul    love!)

[Verse 2]
G                                   G/F# Em
New love, a boy and girl are talk - ing  new words,
                         D   C
That only they can share in, new words,
                                          G    Bm
A love so strong it tears their hearts to sleep,
                                         (Soul love!)
                              Am     D
Through the fleeting hours of morn - ing

[Bridge 1]
Am
Love is careless in its choosing,
Em
Sweeping over 'cross a baby,
F                C
Love descends on those defenceless,
D
    Idiot love will spark the fusion,
C                D7
    Inspirations have I none,
        G7                       C
Just to touch the flaming dove,
Cm    Cm/D#      G                D    N.C.
All I have is my love of love and love is not loving
