Stevie's choice for his own best lyrics:


                                  "As"
                            (Stevie Wonder)

Intro:

	Bmaj7    B7      Emaj7       [2X]
	      Do do-do-do do  do

Verse 1:

	   Bmaj7               B7                Emaj7
	As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
	       Bmaj7                           Amaj7
	And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
	       Bmaj7                   B7
	Just as hate knows love's the cure
	       Emaj7
	You can rest your mind assure
	     G#m            A#m D#7 G#m7 G#m6 C#m7 F#7
	That I'll be loving you always

Verse 2:

	As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
	But in passing will grow older every day
	Just as all is born is new
	Do know what I say is true
	     G#m            A#m D#7 (G#m)
	That I'll be loving you  always

Chorus 1:

	G#m          D#7/A#              B              C#
	  (Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky)
	Always
	G#m         D#7/A#         B              C#
	  (Until the ocean covers every mountain high)
	Always
	G#m         D#7/A#              B              C#
	  (Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea)
	G#m         D#7/A#             B           [1:      F9; to bridge]
	Always                                     [others: C#]
	  (Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream)

Bridge:

	Emaj7                                      Bmaj7
	      Did you know that true love asks for nothing
	Emaj7                             Dmaj9
	      Her acceptance is the way we came
	Emaj7                                 Bmaj7
	      Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
	   C#m7                            A#m7/D# D#7 C#m9 F#13
	To last through forever and another day            (just)

Verse 3:

	Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
	And the seasons know exactly when to change
	Just as kindness knows no shame
	Know through all your joy and pain
	That I'll be loving you always

Verse 4:

	As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
	Could make me that past but that I mustn't fear
	For I'll know deep in my mind
	The love of me I've left behind
	'Cause I'll be loving you always

Chorus 2 [chorus chord progression continues to fade]:

	Until the day is night and night becomes the day
	Until the trees and sea just up and fly away
	Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
	Until the day that is the day that are no more

Chorus 3:

	Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
	Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
	Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
	Until the day that you are me and I am you

[repeat first two lines of chorus 1]

[piano solo]

Interlude:

	We all know sometimes life's hate and troubles
	Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
	But you can bet your life times that and twice its double
	That God knew exactly where He wanted you to be placed
	So make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
	You're not helping to make this Earth a place sometimes called Hell
	Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
	And maybe our children's grandchildren
	And their great-great-grandchildren will tell

	I'll be loving you...

[repeat choruses 1, 2, 3]

	Always...

[repeat choruses 1, 2, 3]

[repeat choruses 1, 2, 3; fade]
