This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

"LOVE WILL ALWAYS FIND ITS WAY" by Pierce Pettis www.piercepettis.com
From his 1998 album Everything Matters
Words and music by Pierce Pettis
Transcribed by T-rev www.t-rev.net
Original guitar tuning is B,F#,C#,F#,A#,B (i.e. a half-step lower
  than CGDGBC tuning), not capoed, key of F#.
I play standard-tuned and partial capoed as follows:
  full 6-string capo on 2nd fret;
  partial capo covering the A, D, and G strings on the 4th fret.
Chords named relative to the partial capo.

D5                    D2,4
   Can't stop a river
D              Dadd4                Gadd9  D/F#  Gadd9  D2,4
   Don't even try, it'll carry you away
D                           D2,4
   Caught up in the current
D                 Dadd4                     Gadd9  D/F#  Gadd9  A11
   Sweeping you along, running deeper every day

      G   D  D/F#          A5
      Oh, my love, look at you
                 B6        Bm    G3   Gadd9  A11
      I love you more than I can say
      G   D D/F#           A5
      Now I know that it's true
                                D5
      Love will always find its way

   "Hello" and "Goodbye"
   Divided by a line down the middle of the road
   But the same road that takes you
   So far away, it can bring you back home

      Oh, my love, if I go
      It will never be to stay
      I will come back, I know
      Love will always find its way

   I cannot escape the fact that I have made
   Some trouble for myself
   The trouble's so deep, but the water was sweet
   By the river where I knelt

      Oh, my love, wash me clean
      Like a sidewalk in the rain
      Take my arm, walk with me
      Love will always find its way
