Concrete And Clay

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)

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

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

Instrumental break:

(acoustic guitar solo over verse chords)

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]
