This is tabbed to be similar to the live version found on "The Essential John Denver", though the suggested intro is different. Sometimes John played this song in E (D, Capo 2), so do whatever suits your voice. Additionally, some of his performances used different lyrics in the second time through the chorus, but these are the lyrics from the aforementioned album. Also, the D/B may be replaced with Bm, especially if strumming the song, but I prefer the D/B when finger-picking. I played with some of the Em variations to highlight bass notes - feel free to just play regular Em chords if you want to keep it simple. Finally, I prefer a simpler ending, and that's what I've tabbed. Purists can listen to recordings and tab their own endings. :) Is It Love? John Denver Capo 1 Suggested intro: D D/B G Em Em/G Em/B A7 D
Verse 1: I Dknow how it D/Bfeels to be Ghead over Emheels, To be Emlost in true Em/Blove and the A7light of the Dmoon. When Deverything D/Bseems to be Gcoming up Emroses; EmEvery word Em/Bseems to be Arhyming with DJune. EmSuddenly all of your A7dreams have come Dtrue; EmHappiness A7lives in your Dheart. EmThen out of nowhere, A7one becomes Dtwo; EmEverything seems to be Cfalling aApart.
Chorus 1: (Is it Dlove) when your D/Bheart Gfeels like it's Abroken, (Is it Dlove) and you D/Bjust can't Gtake any Amore? (Is it Dlove) when there's D/Bnothing Gleft to be Aspoken, (Is it Dlove) and there's D/Bnothing worth Glistening Afor? D D/B G A (D D/B G A) (2nd time: D D Dsus2 D, to Bridge) (Is it love?) Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Verse 2: I Dknow what it D/Bmeans to get Gcaught up in Emdreams And in Emprayers that are Em/Banswered with Aeach passing Dday. When Dloving and D/Blaughter are Gbirds of a Emfeather, And Emsharing and Em/Bcaring just Aone simple Dway. EmYou know you'll never A7be all aDlone; EmSomeone will A7always be Dnear. Then Emyou turn around and your A7best friend is Dgone; Oh, Emwhere do they go when they Cjust disaAppear?
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge: EmThere's no answer; there Aseems to be nothing to Dsay. EmIn your anger, would Ayou even hear anyDway? EmIt was magic, and Asomehow you've broken the Dspell. EmIt was heaven, but Em7somehow it's turned into Ahell.
Chorus 2: (Is it Dlove) when you D/Bknow that your Gheart has been Abroken? (Is it Dlove) and you D/Bjust can't Gtake it anyAmore? (Is it Dlove) when you D/Bfeel more than Gyou could iAmagine, (Is it Dlove) now there's D/Bnothing that's Gworth living Afor? (Is it Dlove) woo-D/Booh-ooh-Gooh-Aooh; is it DlovD/Be? G A D
