                             IT'S ONLY LOVE - Stevie Nicks

Tuning: STANDARD (with capo on 2nd)
 
Stevie plays this differently to Sheryl Crow, who wrote the song for Stevie before recording it
herself, in 2002. Stevie's version is from the album 'Trouble in Shangri-la' (2001).
 
There are a couple of fills missing if anyone can add  - I have approximated and will
amend if I can refine. Note there are two guitars being picked on the album track; so some fills
may be difficult without a couple more hands. This is mainly the first guitar (left channel on
album) including a couple of fills from the second. This is my first tab and I'm returning to
the guitar after years of not playing - so apologies if anything is wrong or poorly noted (please
let me know). Timings omitted.
 
Capo on 2. Chords named relative to capo (e.g. G is in reality A).

Chords and lyrics
 
 
Verse one:
 
G         G    D  A7sus4      A7sus4 A7
I think I met my match again
 
Em       Em6       Em7   C
Passing 'round the candlelight
 
G      G  D  A7sus4            A7sus4 A7
In the centre of this blizzard
 
Em            Em6    Em7     C
You stood and melted all the ice
 
 
Chorus:
 
Em       F    Am
Ah, it's only love
 
Em       F    Am
Ah, it's only love
 
Em     F    C               G
Ah, if only love comes around again
 
G   D        A7sus4
It will have been
 
 
Bridge:
 
Em             C   D
Worth the ride ...
 
 
Verse two:
 
G         G   D  A7sus4    A7sus4 A7
You were master of so many
 
Em  E6  E7     C
But saviour to none
 
G       G      D  A7sus4            A7sus4 A7
I waged all of my hopes so plenty
 
Em           E6       E7   C
On you, now look what I've become ...
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
Verse three:
 
G   G      D  A7sus4   A7sus4 A7
Someday's lonely is not only
 
Em          Em6   Em7    C
A word, but faces I have known
 
G          G   D   A7sus4    A7
And if you see me, could you free me
 
Em               Em6   Em7 C
With a smile, so I can let go ...
 
[Chorus]
