Its Because I Love You

"It's because I love you"

by Master's Apprentices

This is a pretty good outline of the different parts to this old song.

Any corrections and especially the rest of the lyrics are welcome.

These tabs a for a six string, but playing them on a twelve string would make ita hell of a lot easier.

There are 3 main riffs and an easy set of chorus chords:

riff 1 riff 2

|--------------|------------------------|

|--10-9--7--5--|------------------------|

|--------------|------------------------|

|--7--6--4--2--|---5--4--5--7--5--4--5--|

|--------------|------------------------|

|--------------|------------------------|

Main riff/verse riff: (takes a while to get used to the fingering)

|--------------------------12----------------------------|

|--10-10-12-12-14-14-14-14----14-14-12-12-10-10-10-10----|

|--------------------------9-----------------------------|

|--7--7--9--9--11-11-11-11----11-11-9--9--7--7--7--7-----|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

Lyrics from the last half of the song:

(play riff 1 twice)

(play riff 2 twice)

Main riff:

Once we walked together

>From the field up to the hill

Promised love forever

I remember that day still

It's because I love you

I'll come home to you one day

It's because I love you

In my thoughts you'll always stay

(C# note twice)

Chorus: (repeats around a dozen times then fades out)

Oooooo Do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be, yeah
