"It's because I love you" 
by Master's Apprentices

This is a pretty good outline of the different parts to this old song.
Any corrections and especially the rest of the lyrics are welcome.
                                                                              
These tabs a for a six string, but playing them on a twelve string would make ita hell of a lot easier.

There are 3 main riffs and an easy set of chorus chords:
                                                                
	riff 1		riff 2            
     |--------------|------------------------|                            
     |--10-9--7--5--|------------------------|                            
     |--------------|------------------------|                            
     |--7--6--4--2--|---5--4--5--7--5--4--5--|                            
     |--------------|------------------------|                            
     |--------------|------------------------|                            
                                                                                                                                                                                                         

     Main riff/verse riff:  (takes a while to get used to the fingering)                                      
        A      B    C#          E   C#    B    A                              
     |--------------------------12----------------------------|

     |--------------------------9-----------------------------|               
     |--7--7--9--9--11-11-11-11----11-11-9--9--7--7--7--7-----|               
     |--------------------------------------------------------|               
     |--------------------------------------------------------|               
                                                                              
                                                                              
    just before
    the chorus
    play this note
    twice then go 
    straight into 
    the A chord      Chourus chords:                                             
        C#          A     B     D     A  A6? (not sure, could be called Asus)                     
     |-----------|--------------2-------------|

Lyrics from the last half of the song:

(play riff 1 twice)
(play riff 2 twice)

Main riff:
A       B      C#
Once we walked together
E    C#        B     A 
From the field up to the hill
Promised love forever
I remember that day still
It's because I love you
I'll come home to you one day
It's because I love you
In my thoughts you'll always stay

(C# note twice)

Chorus: (repeats around a dozen times then fades out)

A       A6   B                     D                     A    A6  
Oooooo       Do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be, yeah
