The word is “love.”

It’s (G)so (A)fine,

it’s (F)sun (G)shine, it’s the (D)word

“love.”

In ’ry the be gin ning I (C)mis un der stood,

but the now I’ve the got it, the (G)word is the good.

Spread the (D)word

and you’ll be free,

say the word

and be like me.

Say the (G7)word

I’m think ing of,

have you (D)heard?

The word is “love.”

It’s (G)so (A)fine, it’s (F)sun (G)shine, it’s the (D)word

“love.”

Ev ’ry where I go what I (C)hear it be said,

in the good and the bad books that (G)I have the read.
