The chords below are shown, for simplicity, as if you were not playing the A bass note.

The bass note holds on the A (open A string) note through

the all of the chords during the intro and verses if you are fingerpicking.

If strumming, I would just play the 3 high strings throughout the verse.

Chord shapes used in the intro and verse are:

    [ch]A[/ch]**    [ch]Bm7[/ch]      [ch]A[/ch]*     [ch]Em7[/ch]
e|--9-------7-------5-------O---|
B|--10------7-------5-------3---|
G|--9-------7-------6-------4---|
D|------------------7-------5---|
A|------------------------------|
E|------------------------------|

with a little work you can figure out the hammer ons and pulloffs to make the melody

The chord shapes used in the outro and the break are:

    [ch]F#m[/ch]     [ch]C#[/ch]      [ch]F#m7[/ch]     [ch]B[/ch]      [ch]E11[/ch]      [ch]Bb[/ch]     [ch]A[/ch]***
e|--9--------9-------9-------7-------7-------6------5---|
B|--10-------9-------10------7-------7-------6------5---|
G|--11-------10------9-------8-------7-------7------6---|
D|--11-------11------11------9-------7-------8------7---|
A|--9--------11------9-------9-------7-------8------7---|
E|-----------9---------------7---------------6------5---|

Love is a symphony,

hearts in one melody

'Cause

Sounds never dissipate,

they only recreate

In another p

There in your silent night

Joy of a song's delight

I write a song for you

You write a song for me

Memories that won't e

We have a magic box

in which is never locked,

and I'll write a song for you.

You write a song for me

We'll write a song, of
