I ftp'd the "One" from nevada.edu a few days/weeks ago and it didn't
sound right.  Well, I made a slight modification to the rythm and
moreover put it in Chord Pro format.

I think there is a new version on nevada.edu but have not checked.
If you use the font sizes in the file spec (commented out now because
`chord' only accepted them from the command line, not from in the
file...weird) it prints nicely on one sheet, with the solo on the
second sheet.

I only modified the original, I forget the author of that but he
deserves the credit for the good ear.

Here it is:

[Am]Is it getting [Dsus2]better
[Fmaj7]Or do you feel the [G]same
[Am]Will it make it [Dsus2]easier on you
[Fmaj7]Now you got someone to [G]blame

You say
[C]One love
[Am]One life
[Fmaj7]When it's one need
[C]In the night

It's [C]one love
[Am]We get to share it
[Fmaj7]It leaves you baby
If you [C]don't care for it
[Am]       [Dsus2]       [Fmaj7]       [G]

#(Rest of song continues the same way until otherwise written)

[Am]Did I disap[Dsus2]point you
[Fmaj7]Or leave a bad taste in your [G]mouth
[Am]You act like you never [Dsus2]had love
[Fmaj7]And you want me to go with[G]out

Well it's [C]too late
[Am]Tonight
[Fmaj7]To drag the past out
In[C]to the light

[C]We're one
But we're [Am]not the same
We get to [Fmaj7]carry each other
[C]Carry each other
One
[C]       [Am]       [Fmaj7]       [C]

[Am]Have you come here for for[Dsus2]giveness
[Fmaj7]Have you come to raise the [G]dead
[Am]Have you come here to play [Dsus2]Jesus
[Fmaj7]To the lepers in your [G]head

Did I [C]ask too much
[Am]More than a lot
[Fmaj7]You gave me nothing
Now it's [C]all I got

We're [C]one
But we're [Am]not the same
We [Fmaj7]hurt each other
Then we [C]do it again

You say
[C]Love is a temple
[Am]Love a higher law
[C]Love is a temple
[Am]Love the higher law

[C]You ask me to enter
[G]But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding [Fmaj7]on
#[Fmaj7]
To what you got
When all you got is [C]hurt

[C]One love
[Am]One blood
[Fmaj7]One life
[C]You got to do what you should
    
#(Rest of song continues as verse above)

[C]One life

[C]One life
[Am]But we're not the same
[Fmaj7]We get to carry each other
