           F                C  C*
           I stepped into a bar 

           F              C    C* 
           for a drink or two 

           F             C      C*              
           I was feeling lonely, 

           D7                 G
           and as the feeling grew, 

           C            C* F     E
           I ordered same again, until I heard 

                  Am    Am/G
           nature call 

           F                         C   
           and through a door marked Men 

                   F              G
           I found written on the wall; 

           Am  G  F7
           GOD IS LOVE 

           G                             F7
           Next to a naked lady and some parts of a man
             
           was written, 

           C   G  F   C    C*
           GOD IS LOVE 

           F                     C      C*  
           The message seemed so simple 

           F                 C      C*  
           I stared in disbelief, 

           F                C      C*
           Could it be some wisdom 

           D7                G
           had come to my relief? 

           C           C* F  E            Am   Am/G
           Was the Son of God a man among men?
 
           F                C       C*  F   
           Or which of the apostles had owned a ball 

                 G
           point pen? 

               Am  G  F7
           Oh, GOD IS LOVE 

           Am  G  F7
           GOD IS LOVE 

                    G         
           Like the joke that says the future of 

              F7   
           mankind is in your hand, 

           C   G  F  C
           GOD IS LOVE 


          (Instr: Am  G  F7  Am  G  F7  Am  G  F7
 
                  C  G  F  C  C*)


           F             C     C*  
           Love is never easy. 

           F               C     C*  
           Love is hard to find. 

           F                   C    C*
           And just as hard to keep 

           D7         G
           As an open mind. 

           C            C*   F
           So somehow I felt sorry 

                    E              Am    Am/G
           For that unknown patron saint 

                 F                   C
           Whose words would soon be martyred 

                F             G
           By a fresh coat of paint 

           Am  G  F7
           GOD IS LOVE 

           Am  G  F7
           GOD IS LOVE 

                G          
           In a temple or a toilet, 

                F7
           in a bed or in a bar,
 
           C   G  F     C
           GOD IS LOVE. 

           Am  G  F7
           GOD IS LOVE.

           Am  G  F7

           Am  G  F7
           GOD IS LOVE. 

           C   G  F  C
           GOD IS LOVE. 

                  F
           God is Love (GOD IS LOVE!) 

                  C
