And the love lives on without us

FYI: My chord charts are not "tabs" (guides to replicating an artist's past performance).
I don't claim any of my charts show the "right" way to play a song. Instead, this chord
chart represents my personal interpretation of this song. And as a personal interpretation,
it's not something I care to debate. It's a road map for my own, and maybe your own future
performances.

If you have another way to play this song, great. Please, post your own chart.
We all benefit when someone contributes. Cheers! Dexex
