Rising in Love Words and music by David Roth This is my first posting here, so constructive criticism is welcome. This is one of my favorite songs, one of the best wedding songs I've ever heard (I used it at my wedding). I heard this on the collection _On_A_Winter's_Night_ , and it's credits say it's originally from the album _May_The_Light_Of_Love_ by David Roth. A few notes: 1. I've labelled one chord D/F#*, which is most likely the wrong name, but I've drawn the chord below. If anyone knows a good name for this chord, I'm interested in correcting this. Similarly, the C and D diminished chords near the end of the song may not be the appropriate names for this particular key, but that's what I call them. 2. I must confess, I often don't play the key change at the end of the bridge -- it's too easy to stay in D. When I'm feeling lazy I just play an Asus4 followed by an A instead of the B chord, and continue on in the key of D. 3. Some of the chords I drew below use the thumb -- I hope this doesn't offend any purists. I started using my thumb too many years ago to stop now.

Everyone talks about tying the knot, but I have a hard time agreeing With the way that we bind up the love that we've got, when the feeling of love should be freeing. Oh, lifting each other up, instead of giving one another a shove. We won't be falling at all, we'll be rising in love. Bridge:
