Song: 
VERSE 1 (Plucking, finger-picking, and light strumming) 

			    Em 
It takes a crane to build a crane 
			      Am 
It takes two floors to make a story 
			  C 

It takes an egg to make a hen 
			  C 
It takes a hen to make an egg 
			    G	        Bm 
There is no end to what I'm saying 

			     Em 
It takes a thought to make a word 
			    	  Am 
And it takes some word to make an action 
			          C 
And It takes some work to make it work 
			      C 
It takes some good to make it hurt 
		      G	                Bm 
It takes some bad for satisfaction 


(Plucking, finger-picking, and light strumming) Em Am La la la la la la la life is wonderful D G (F# - optional transition into the Em chord) Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle Em Am Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful D Al la la la la
VERSE 2 (Strumming) Em It takes a night to make it dawn Am And it takes a day to make you yawn brother C It takes some old to make you young C It takes some cold to know the sun G B It takes the one to have the other (-----This is where the drums would come in------) Em And It takes no time to fall in love Am But it takes you years to know what love is C And It takes some fears to make you trust C It takes those tears to make it rust G B It takes the dust to have it polished
Em Am Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful D G (F# - optional) Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle Em Am Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful D Em (keep playing this chord until next verse) Ah la la la la la la life is so...
BRIDGE Just keep playing variations of that Em chord (that you just ended on - from Chorus 2) VERSE 3 Em It takes some silence to make sound Am And It takes a loss before you found it C And It takes a road to go nowhere C It takes a toll to make you care G B It takes a hole to make a mountain
Em Am Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful D G (F# - optional) Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle Em Am Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful D G (F# - optional) Ah la la la la la la love is meaningful Em Am Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful D D Ah la la la la la la... Em It is so wonderful Em (like the Bridge - just keep playing this chord until the end) It is so meaningful Em It is so wonderful Em It is meaningful Em It is wonderful Em And meaningful Em It goes full circle Em Wonderful Em Meaningful Em Full Circle Em Wonderful ...
