Subject: That's the Glory of Love From: GUEST,Mark Young Date: 04 Aug 02 - 11:36 AM I can't find the lyrics (or chords) to this song. I also can't find "Five foot two, eyes of blue". Surprised they aren't here. Is there another search site/ engine that has a lot of these songs? Thanks, Mark please send replies to: folk@chartermi.net |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: That's the Glory of Love From: Joe Offer Date: 04 Aug 02 - 11:51 AM Hi, Mark - Mudcat is primarily a folk site, although we do our best to answer all requests. You'll find "The Glory of Love" here (click) at Lyrics World. Five Foot Two is there, too. Hope that does the trick for you. -Joe Offer (e-mail sent)- |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: That's the Glory of Love From: GUEST,MCP Date: 04 Aug 02 - 04:08 PM You can also find these with chords at The Guitar Guy, along with the words and chords of many other standards. The Glory Of Love Mick |
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: THE GLORY OF LOVE (B Hill, J Pratt From: GUEST,Jeanene Date: 04 Aug 02 - 04:13 PM Mark, Lyrics World does not have the chords, so I hope Joe will forgive me for posting the lyrics with chords here. Also, I thought the song was too short, so I wrote some extra lyrics. (You could easily do the same, of course.)
G D D7 G You've got to laugh a little, cry a little . C Am7 You've got to win a little, lose a little, Additional Lyrics: You've got to sow a little, reap a little When skies may not be fair for us, You've got to frown a little, smile a little You've got to coo a little, whine a little, You've got to be strong a little, weak a little, When troubles seem to multiply, You've got to ebb a little, flow a little |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: That's the Glory of Love From: GUEST,Jeanene Date: 04 Aug 02 - 04:19 PM BTW, one artist who had a major hit (if not THE major hit) with this song was Sophie Tucker (The Last Of The Red-Hot Mamas) in 1925. (So that 1926 copyright date may have been the copyright from a later arrangement.) (It was from sheet music with her picture on it that I got the lyrics and derived the chords I posted--although I simplified them a little from those posted at Guitar Guy.) |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: That's the Glory of Love From: GUEST,john c Date: 04 Aug 02 - 04:47 PM John Martyn recorded an excellent version of The Glory of Love. So that must make it a folksong, doesnt it´?? J. |
Subject: Chords Add: THE GLORY OF LOVE (Billy Hill) From: M.Ted Date: 05 Aug 02 - 01:40 PM Here are my chords, I think that they work a lot better than the Guitar Guy chords, they are pretty close to Genie's, but marked measure for measure, so they might be a bit easier to play through--and the additional lyrics are swell Genie, you have a gift!!
D7||G G6 /Am7 D7/G G7/C Cm7/
G G6/Am7 D7/G G7/C Cm7/ (The D7 is a pick-up--one measure between slash marks, play 4 counts or downstrokes for each measure, 2 for each chord--) |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: That's the Glory of Love From: Genie Date: 05 Aug 02 - 03:24 PM Thanks, Ted. (For anyone who's confused, my name is Jeanene and my mudcat handle is "Genie.") In case you were wondering, the chords I posted actually are in the right positions. That is, some chord changes at the end of a line occur before the first word of the next line. Your chords look good, Ted. I'm sure the 6ths add depth to the musical background. The GG chords looked unnecessarily complicated to me. Genie

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: That's the Glory of Love From: M.Ted Date: 05 Aug 02 - 04:05 PM That is just the convention for writing jazz charts, Genie--generally there are two chord changes per measure, so you write two chords per measure, even if they are the same chord--it eliminates the need for unnecessary thinking--the charts are blocked out, measure for measure so you don't need to know, hear, or even think about the melody to play through the changes-- |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: That's the Glory of Love From: Genie Date: 05 Aug 02 - 04:47 PM Good convention, Ted. The notation system used in Rise Up Singing drives me crazy, BTW. Genie |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: That's the Glory of Love From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Aug 02 - 05:02 PM I got a nice note of thanks from Mark, who requested the lyrics. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Glory of Love (Billy Hill) From: GUEST,Jeanene Date: 03 Jan 11 - 07:19 PM FWIW, I guess I read the sheet music wrong (could've been a kind of beat-up copy). The copyright date on this song is 1936, not 1926. |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Glory of Love (Billy Hill) From: Jim Dixon Date: 05 Jan 11 - 01:03 PM YouTube has recordings of THE GLORY OF LOVE by Big Bill Broonzy, with some very nice guitar work Jimmy Durante - a poor quality video probably taken from TV or Kinescope, but Durante, as always, is charming enough to make it worthwhile. The Five Keys from 1951 – not quite doo-wop, but close. Dean Martin also from TV The Platters Otis Redding --and many others. |
