This hit for Jackie O'Shannon was an early harbinger of the flower power movement, with its overt theme of universal love, and subtext of anti-war sentiment. The arrangement introduces the main theme in a thoughtful, conversational style before moving into the pulsing waltz tempo of the original. A few light chord substitutions bring this into the realm of suitability for BHS-system barbershop contests (though maybe not Sweet Adelines).
Vocal ranges:
Tenor: G4 - E5
Lead: B flat 4 - C#5
Bari: B flat 3 - B4
Bass: E3 - F#4
N.B. This arrangement is notated in in treble and bass alta (i.e. sung an octave higher than written) clefs.
