JUST SUPPOSE
Milton Delgado (c)2015

Intro: A Asus2  A Asus2

   A  Asus2      E  Eadd9  E
Suppose, just suppose
F#m                 D              A   E
That the winds were never again to blow
    F#m                D        A   E
And that there were no seeds to sow
         F#m        Asus4  A      
And we'd never see another spring
      F#m            Asus4  A       
And a robin could no longer sing.
   F#m  D     A  Asus2   A  Asus2
Suppose. Just suppose.

   A  Asus2      E  Eadd9  E
Suppose, just suppose
F#m              D               A   E
That the flowers could no longer bloom
    F#m                D        A   E
And that there were no stars or moon
    F#m               Asus4    A      
And trees were rooted from the ground
F#m                   Asus4  A      
And the world stopped spinning around.
   F#m  D     A Asus2  A Asus2
Suppose. Just suppose.

[CHORUS]
   D                   E              A  
Suppose the oceans and rivers were to dry.
    D              Fmaj7    Gmaj7  D
The soaring eagles could no longer fly.
    Am7           Bm7      
The sun no longer sent its light.
Am7               Bm7      
Galaxies vanished from the night.
           Am7             Em7       F#m7
Oh, that's not supposed to be how it goes!

B Bsus4 B     F# Fadd9# F#
Suppose, just suppose
G#m              E               B   F#
That we could no longer hope for peace
    G#m              E        B   F#
And that the rains decided to cease.
     G#m          E        B      
Then suddenly ... love was lost.
G#m             E          B      
Who'd remain to suffer the cost?
   G#m  E     G#m  E
Suppose. Just suppose.
     G#m  E        B  Bsus4  B
Just suppose. Just suppose.
