Chord Is It Love by John Denver

this is tabbed to be similar to the live version found on "the essential john denver" , though the suggested intro is different . sometimes john played this song in E D , capo 2 , so do whatever suits your voice . additionally , some of his performances used different lyrics in the second time through the chorus , but these are the lyrics from the aforementioned album . also , the D/B may be replaced with Bm , especially if strumming the song , but i prefer the D/B when finger - picking . i played with some of the Em variations to highlight bass notes - feel free to just play regular Em chords if you want to keep it simple . finally , i prefer A simpler ending , and that’s what i’ve tabbed . purists can listen to recordings and tab their own endings . : is it love? john denver capo 1 suggested intro : D D/B G Em Em/G Em/B A7 D D D/B G Em verse 1 : i know how it feels to be head over heels , Em Em/B A7 D to be lost in true love and the light of the moon . D D/B G Em when everything seems to be coming up roses; Em Em/B A D every word seems to be rhyming with june . Em A7 D suddenly all of your dreams have come true; Em A7 D happiness lives in your heart . Em A7 D then out of nowhere , one becomes two; Em C A everything seems to be falling apart . D D/B G A chorus 1 : is it love when your heart feels like it’s broken , D D/B G A is it love and you just can’t take any more? D D/B G A is it love when there’s nothing left to be spoken , D D/B G A is it love and there’s nothing worth listening for? D D/B G A D D/B G A 2nd time : D D Dsus2 D , to bridge is it love? woo - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh ooh - ooh D D/B G Em verse 2 : i know what it means to get caught up in dreams Em Em/B A D and in prayers that are answered with each passing day . D D/B G Em when loving and laughter are birds of a feather , Em Em/B A D and sharing and caring just one simple way . Em A7 D you know you’ll never be all alone; Em A7 D someone will always be near . Em A7 D then you turn around and your best friend is gone; Em C A oh , where do they go when they just disappear? repeat chorus 1 Em A D bridge : there’s no answer; there seems to be nothing to say . Em A D in your anger , would you even hear anyway? Em A D it was magic , and somehow you’ve broken the spell . Em Em7 A it was heaven , but somehow it’s turned into hell . D D/B G A chorus 2 : is it love when you know that your heart has been broken? D D/B G A is it love and you just can’t take it anymore? D D/B G A is it love when you feel more than you could imagine , D D/B G A is it love now there’s nothing that’s worth living for? D D/B G A D D/B G A D is it love woo - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh; is it love?
