Here's a lovely little song by Ben Harper, simple though it is.
It's actually supposed to be tuned down a whole step [DGCFAD], but you can play it
however suits your range. Have at it!
(Note: The C/B chord is played X20010)
Intro: [C, F, C, F]
C F C
There is not a river wide
C F G F
Not a mountain high
C F C
And neither sin nor evil
C F C
Could change how I feel inside
C F C
Could change how I feel inside
C F C
Not all the strength of the ocean
C F G F
Not all the heat from the sun, from the sun
C F C Am
Though others have tried, I just can't deny
C F C
For me you are the one
C F C
For me you are the one
F G C
But true love is priceless
F G C
For true love we pay a price
F G Am C/B
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
C F C
Not fire, no, not ice
C F C
Not fire, no, not ice

C F C
Like a hero or the champion
C F G F
You are the best, you're the best
C F C
Like religion or superstition
C F C
With you I am blessed
C F C
With you I am blessed
C F C
Now the river may grow wider
C F G F
The mountains may reach past the sky
C F C Am
And whether or not you feel same
C F C
My love shall never die

My love shall never die

Lyrics:
There is not a river wide
Not a mountain high
And neither sin nor evil
Could change how I feel inside
Could change how I feel inside
Not all the strength of the ocean
Not all the heat from the sun, from the sun
Though others have tried, I just can't deny
For me you are the one
For me you are the one
But true love is priceless
For true love we pay a price
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire, no, not ice
Not fire, no, not ice
Like a hero or the champion
You are the best, you're the best
Like religion or superstition
With you I am blessed
With you I am blessed
Now the river may grow wider
The mountains may reach past the sky
And whether or not you feel same
My love shall never die
My love shall never die
But true love is give and take
True love is sacrifice
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire, no, not ice
Not fire, no, not ice
