There is much more to playing this song than just strumming chords, although that will work. There are a lot of little extra notes and muting tricks that are hard to teach (or tab), but they can be picked up by listening to the CD. Also, I tabbed it exactly like it sounds on the CD as far as the ending and ad-libs. Enjoy!

Capo 1st Fret (Key of Eb- All chords are relative to capo)
Background vocals/ad-libs are in parentheses

4 measure intro:
D         Em     G

D         Em     G

Verse 1:
A                           D
We were made to love and be loved

A                                     D
But the price this world demands will cost you far too much

Bm                              G             D/F#
Spent so many lonely years just trying to fit in

         G                      A          D *mute*
Now I've found my place in this circle of friends

Chorus 1:
               A                    D
In a circle of friends, we have one Father

     D/F#      G                      D
In a circle of friends, we share this prayer

     A              G6                  D/F#           G
That every orphaned soul will know, and all will enter in

       Em              A7sus     D
To the shelter of this circle of friends

Verse 2:
A                             D
If you weep, I will weep with you

       A                               D
If you sing for joy the rest of us...                    Oh...
                                  Will lift our voices too
       Bm                                  G             D/F#
But no matter what you feel inside there's no need to pretend

           G                 A         D *mute*
That's the way it is in this circle of friends

Chorus 2:
               A                    D
In a circle of friends, we have one Father

     D/F#      G                      D
In a circle of friends, we share this prayer

     A              G6              D/F#            G
That we'll gather together no mater how the highway bends

  Em                 A7sus     D
I will not lose this circle of friends

Bridge:
 E
Among the nations, tribes and tongues

        G           D
We have sisters and brothers

    E
And when we meet in heaven

        G              D
We will recognize each other

     Bm                      G
With joy so deep         and love so sweet
            (joy so deep)            (love so sweet)

          A7sus           A7
Oh, we'll celebrate these friends

    C         G     D *mute*
And life that never ends

The recording fades out here. For a live performance, just go to D after the last G. (Or you could just do whatever you decide since you would be the one performing it.)
