Chords for Lionel Richie - The Commodores - Jesus Is Love

_ _ _ _ At this particular _ time, ladies and gentlemen, _
_ we would like to do another song from our latest album, Heroes. _

Jesus, [Bm] _ [Em] Jesus, _ _ _ Jesus
[G] _ _
_ [A] Yeah, _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] yeah, _ _ _ yeah, [Am] _
_ _ _ yeah, [C] yeah, _ yeah
Wait [G] a minute _
Wait a minute
_ [D] _ _
[Bm] Come on down for just a second
[Em] _ _
Come way down, way, [Dm] way, way down
_ _ [B] You know [C] the Commodores
_ _ had two [G] ways of letting you leave out of here [Em] tonight
_ [Am] We either had to have you dancing [C] in the aisles
hollering and screaming
_ [G] or we had to let you leave with something on your [D] mind
and in your hearts
_ [Em] But tonight, _ I guess there's no [A] doubt in your mind
and certainly not in mine
[C] we're gonna let you leave tonight with something [G] on your mind
and in your [Em] hearts
[Am] You know, _ _ I don't have [C] to be the one to tell each and every one of you
[G] _
but the world's in a whole lot of trouble right [D] now, everybody
_ [Bm] The world's [Em] in a whole lot of trouble
_ And you know, _ [Dm]
the funniest thing [B] is that
[C] _
everybody's looking for something new
[G] _ _
[Em] something different to [Am] solve the problem
_ Some of us feel that _ technology sooner or [G] later will solve the problem
_ [D] We feel that [Bm] money can [Em] solve the problem
_ In [F] 1980, we even feel that a [C] president can solve the problem
But [G] you know the funniest thing about the whole thing is [Am] this
Everybody [C] knows what the solution is
Everybody [G] knows what the solution is
Because what the [D] world needs [Bm] now
[Em] What the world needs right now
[D] is a little [G]
love, [B] sweet love
[C] Can I get an amen from y'all out there?
_ [G] Oh yeah! _
_ _ _ [Am] _ Oh yeah!
_ _ [C] _ But tonight
_ _ _ [G] Tonight I know it's gonna be hard to do
_ [D] But I wanna [Bm] change the name of Las [Em] Vegas
because that takes a whole lot of doing
_ _ [Dm] And I wanna change [G] the name of the [C] Commodores
and that takes a whole lot of doing
_ [G] Tonight I want you all to think of yourselves
_ [Am] _ _
_ [C] _ Think of yourselves as the beginning
_ [G] _ The beginning of something great
_ The beginning [D] of something wonderful
[Bm] _ The [Em] beginning of something that the world needs right [D] now _
[G] And [B] I know if you thought [C] you were gonna come out tonight
just to hear [G] the Commodores sing [Em] all night long
_ [Am] We want you to know we [C] came to sing along with you right now
_ _ [G] So forget about what we're doing on this stage [D] right now
I [Bm] wanna put the lights out in the [Em] audience on the people
I want you [F#] all to stand up [Dm] out your seats right [G] where y'all are
On this side, [C] on the middle, back in the back, down in the corner
[G] I want y'all to stand on up, way up [Am] top where you're standing up
And I want everybody to raise one hand high in the [G] sky, one hand _
And I want y'all to [D] sing along real [Bm] loud and real strong
[Em] along with the Commodores and the East St.
[F] Louis Gospel
