Subject: Lyr/Chords ADD: Get Together (Chet Powers)
This is my transcription of the 2007 remaster of a recording of the song by the songwriter Dino Valenti, also known as Chet Powers.

LET'S GET TOGETHER
(Chet Powers)

Love is but the song we sing
And fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Know that love is on the wing
And you need not know why
Some will come and some will go,
We will surely pass
When the one that left us here (very unclear)
Returns for us at last
People, we are but a moment's sunlight
Fading on the grass
Well, if you heard the song I sing
Then you will understand
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
One key unlocks them both, you know,
And it's at your command

And here's a 1990 live performance by Dino Valenti: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzVurGfO6Ss - lots of significant lyrics differences in this version.

The Wikipedia article about Chet Powers/Dino Valenti is very interesting.
