Ah, sweet mys-ter-y  of life,

-3  -3   3  3  -2  3
the sec-ret of it all. 
-5   5   5   -3*   -3* -3
All the long-ing, seek-ing,  
  -3   3    3   -2    -3   -3
striv-ing, wait-ing, yearn-ing. 
 4   -5   6    5     3   5
The burn-ing hopes, the joy  
-5  5  3    5    3    5
and i-dle tears that fall. 

-5    5   5   -3*  -3* -3 -3
For 'tis love and love a-lone  
 3    3   -2   3   3
the world is seek-ing.

'Tis the an-swer,  
 -5  -4  -4   3*  3* 3  -5* -5*
'tis the end and all of liv-ing. 
-3* -3* 4  -5 -2  3
For it is love a-lone,  
 -3*   4   -5  -3*
that rules for aye.
