Version with only 1 key presented by the Bee Gees band
Intro CF-C x 2
1. C Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth C7 comb I was F soft inside
There was something going C on FC
C You do something to me that I can’t explain
Hold me closer and I feel no C7 pain ev’ry F beat of my heart
We got something going C on
Tender love is Fmaj7 blind, It requires a dedication.
Fm All this love we feel needs no conversation
Chorus: we C ride it together …Ah ah
C Making love to one another …Ah ah
G7 Islands in the C stream. that is what we F are
No one in bet-Dm7 ween how can we be wrong
Sail away with C me to another F world
And we re-C ly on each other uh huh
From one Dm7 lover to another uh C huh
2. C I can’t live without you if the love is gone
Ev’rything is nothing if you got no C7 one
And you did F walk in the night slowly losin’ sight of the C real thing FC
But C that won’t happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way C7 out and the F messages is clear
This could be the year of the C real thing
No more will you Fmaj7 cry baby I will hurt you never
We Fm start and end as one in love forever we can
