UNIT FOUR PLUS TWO - "concrete and clay" Tablature

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.

You to me

That something rare

The sidewalks in the street

The concrete and the clay beneath my feet

But love will never die

Because we'll see the mountains tumble

My love and I will be

In love eternally

That's the way

I see the purple shades of evening
And on the ground
The shadows fall and once again you're in my arms
So tenderly

And that's the way

That's the way it's meant to be

That's the way

Whoa, that's the way
That's the way it's meant to be [fade]
