Two versions of this battled it out on the US charts: one by the composer,
Eddie Rambeau, and a cover by the Unit 4+2. This transcription is of the
latter, which was probably recorded in C and sped up to Db for the single.
"Concrete And Clay"
(Eddie Rambeau)
Intro:
cowbell and finger cymbal [4 bars]
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
You to me
Are sweet as roses in the morning
And you to me
Are soft as summer [unintelligible] in love we share
That something rare
Chorus:
The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye
My love and I will be
In love eternally
That's the way
Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be
Verse 2:
All around
I see the purple shades of evening
And on the ground
The shadows fall and once again you're in my arms
So tenderly
[repeat chorus]
Instrumental break:
(acoustic guitar solo over verse chords)
[repeat chorus]
Coda
And that's the way
That's the way it's meant to be
That's the way
(that's the way it's meant to be)
Whoa, that's the way
That's the way it's meant to be [fade]
