Two versions of this battled it out on the US charts: one by the composer,
Eddie Rambeau, and a cover by the Unit 4+2.  This transcription is of the
latter, which was probably recorded in C and sped up to Db for the single.
 
 
                          "Concrete And Clay"
                            (Eddie Rambeau)

Verse 1:
 
        G7
        You to me
                      C
        Are sweet as roses in the morning
            G7
        And you to me
                      C             F
        Are soft as summer soft as summer rain at dawn, in love we share
              Em
        That something rare
 
Chorus:
 
             Dm
        The sidewalks in the street
             G7                               C
        The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
                  Am/E
        Begins to crumble
             F              G7
        But love will never die
                        C               Am/E
        Because we'll see the mountains tumble
           F              G7
        Before we say goodbye
 
                    F
        My love and I will be
            E        G7/D
        In love eternally
         G7
        That's the way
                         C
        Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be
 
Verse 2:
 
        All around
        I see the purple shades of evening
        And on the ground
        The shadows fall and once again you're in my arms
        So tenderly
 
[repeat chorus]
 
Instrumental break:
 
        (acoustic guitar solo over verse chords)
 
[repeat chorus]
 
Coda
 
             G7
        And that's the way
                    C
        That's the way it's meant to be
 
        That's the way
        (that's the way it's meant to be)
        Whoa, that's the way
        That's the way it's meant to be   [fade]
