You Can't Be Happy (until You Love Someone)
View chords used in this chart
Note: The original recording (from studio one) is kinda "coarse" and the quality is pretty, and so it
was very hard to figure out the lyrics, and impossible to find on the internet. I am sure that there
are mistakes still, so if you find any, don't hesitate to email me at abuanthar@yahoo.com and
let me know.
Anyway, here goes:
