Atlanta Rhythm Section — Normal Love

    	    	Вступление

Normal Love is an old Atlanta Rhythm Section song from the Champagne Jam album, 1978.
I've always loved this song and there was no tab for it so I decided to put this one together.
Even a web search for the chords only had 1 hit, from an old OLGA tab. I started with that and made a few
tweaks that I thought would help.

This is actually a piano dominated song, with a bit of organ/synth & backing vocals subtly added as the song
progresses. I don't think there's any guitar on it but you can still do a nice version of it on 6 or 12-string
guitar with this arrangement.

I'm presenting it as a no capo version, and below a capo 3 version which may be better for some guitarists.

F                          F+
Normal love, I need some normal love
         Bb           Bb6
Not a sickness, nor madness
         Bbm         F    F7
Just an everyday affair
Bb                 Bm7-5        F
But just like an old-fashioned love song
                 C
These days it’s rare

[Verse 2]
F                              F+
Outer space, these days that’s commonplace

If it’s storybook, or strange

It’s the passion of the day
Bb                Bm7-5         F
Caught up in that old cosmic circle
            C     A
So out of place

Oo -  oo  -  oo, that’s what I need
D         D/C          G/B      G/Bb
  Just a smile, just a kiss
D  F#m7  Bm  Bm7       D            A7
Oo -  oo  -  oo,         ... normalness

{Verse 3]
F                         F+
What a twist, I need your normalness
       Bb             Bb6
I’d forget you if I could
      Bbm         F      F7
And normally I would
Bb               Bm7-5          F
But just like an old family portrait
                 C
you’re one of a kind
              Gm7            C
And in these crazy times I need...
                D     D/C    G/B    G/Bb
your normal love -   -   -   -   -   -
