It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I’m saying

It takes a thought to make a word
nd it takes some word to make an action
nd It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

CHORUS (Plucking, finger-picking, and light strumming)

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
h la la la la la la life is wonderful
l la la la la

VERSE 2 (Strumming)

It takes a night to make it dawn
nd it takes a day to make you yawn brother
It takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

(—–This is where the drums would come in——)

nd It takes no time to fall in love
ut it takes you years to know what love is
nd It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

CHORUS 2

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
h 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

It takes some silence to make sound
nd It takes a loss before you found it
nd It takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

CHORUS 3

h la la la la la la life is wonderful
D G (F# – optional)
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
h la la la la la la life is wonderful
D G (F# – optional)
Ah la la la la la la love is meaningful
h la la la la la la life is wonderful
h la la la la la la…
It is so wonderful
Em (like the Bridge – just keep playing this chord until the end)
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
nd meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful
Meaningful
ull Circle
Wonderful
