(ver. 1)
Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 6th Fret




[INTRO:] F   G   C

[VERSE 1:]
                  G                  F
Does the light of passion still burn bright 
                G            C
Only love would know my imagination 
Dm             C             G               C
Tells me I'm a pent-up fool, in the deep end of the pool
                G                 Am
Is the light of passion burning tonight 
F               G     F               C
Only love would know, only love would know 
Dm               C               D                C
She lives on the other side, you want to know the reason why 
Dm             C            D              C
She arrives at promises and you believe in what she says 
F              G  C     F   G   C
Everywhere you go__


[VERSE 2:]
                G               F
Is the light of passion burning bright 
               G                   C
Everywhere you go, only love would know 
    F                 Am
You think you've been wronged again 
    G             C
Oh, what a way to treat a friend
Dm             F              G               C         F
She belongs to other eyes and surely you must realise 
              C              G          C      F
She ain't the kind who would soon step aside 
                      G            C      F
Pay any dues at the expense of her pride 
               G     
Everywhere she goes
F               C
Only love would know


[VERSE 3:]
                 G              F
In the days gone by I came to believe
              G                      C
Everything is trust, all the rest is dust 
Dm             C            G                 C
Mother nature, mother dear, listen to us over here 
                  G                Am
Are the sounds of laughter ringing true 
F               G     F               C
Only love would know, only love would do 
Dm            F              G            C
She lives on another plane, away from the driving rain
F            C                G                    C
She says no, you say yes, and that's how it should be I guess 
F               G  C     F   G   C
Only love would know


[VERSE 4:]
                 G                   F
May the light of love surround you tonight 
               G                   C
Everywhere you go, only love would know 
F                    Am
You thought you were wrong until 
    G                    C
You learned once and for all it's still 
Dm              F              G               C               F
One more lesson on the way, or that is what it seemed to say 
              C              G         C      F
She's not the kind who would soon step down 
                       G            C      F
Not the kind you would try to walk around 
            G                     C 
When only a thought would go very well 
        F           G     
You can tell by the touch 
        F               C
Ah, but only love would know


[OUTRO:]
F       C       F
Passion burning bright 
C        F       Am      C
Tears of passion late at night 
                F       Dm      C
Is the light of passion burning bright 
F              G   F               C
Everywhere you go, only love would know
