D7 Say the word and you'll be free, Say the word and be like me. G7 Say the word I'm thinking of, D7 Have you heard the word is love? G A F G It's so fine, It's sunshine, D7 It's the word... love. D C In the beginning I misunderstood, F G But now I've got it, the word is good. Spread the word and you'll be free, Spread the word and be like me. Spread the word I'm thinking of, Have you heard the word is love? It's so fine, It's sunshine, It's the word... love. Every where I go I hear it said, In the good and bad books that I have read. Say the word and you'll be free, Say the word and be like me. Say the word I'm thinking of, Have you heard the word is love? It's so fine, It's sunshine, It's the word... love. Now that I know, what I feel must be right, I'm here to show everybody the light. Give the world a chance to say, That the word is just the way. It's the word I'm thinking of. And the only word is love. It's so fine, It's sunshine, It's the word... love. D7 G7 Say the word, love... say the word, love. D7 G7 Say the word, love... say the word, love.
