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] -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
