1st VERSE:     
 D                              A        D    
I've been throwing horse-shoes,    
     
 G                       A     
over my left shoulder,     
     
 G                         D     
I've spent, most all my life,     
     
 E                                 A7     
searching for that four-leaf clover.     
     
 D                        A      D      
Then you came with me,     
     
  G                    A     
chasing my rainbows,     
     
               G                       D     
Honey, you know that I love you too,     
     
            A7     
and that's the way love goes.

    D                              A      D     
That's the way love goes, babe,     
     
 G                           A     
that's the music God made,     
     
 G                   D     
for all the world to see.     
     
 E                                A7     
It's never old, it gro--o-o--ows.     
     
 D                          A   D     
Losing makes me sorry.     
     
 G                                    A     
You say, "Honey, don't worry.     
     
 G                            D      
Don't you know I love you too?"     
     
             A7                        D     
and that's the way love goes.
