Bass Chords of Let's Stay Together by American singer Al Green.

‍

“Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green is one of the defining soul songs of the early 1970s. Released in November 1971 and later included on Green’s 1972 album Let’s Stay Together, the track was issued by Hi Records and produced by Willie Mitchell, one of the key architects of the warm Memphis soul sound. The song was written by Al Green, Willie Mitchell, and Al Jackson Jr., with Green’s smooth, intimate vocal delivery turning a simple promise of commitment into a timeless romantic anthem.

Musically, “Let’s Stay Together” blends soul, R&B, and gospel-inspired emotion. Its arrangement is built around Green’s falsetto vocals, a soft rhythm section, warm organ textures, guitar, bass, drums, and elegant horn accents associated with the Hi Records sound. Musicians connected with the Let’s Stay Together album sessions include Teenie Hodges on guitar, Charles Hodges on piano and organ, Andrew Love and Ed Logan on tenor saxophone, Wayne Jackson on trumpet, Jack Hale on trombone, and Howard Grimes on drums.

The song became Al Green’s signature hit, reaching No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and spending nine weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B chart. It was also ranked as the 11th-highest-selling song of 1972 by Billboard. (Wikipedia)

A major curiosity is that “Let’s Stay Together” has lived far beyond its original release. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, selected for the Library of Congress National Recording Registry in 2010, and famously covered by Tina Turner in 1983 as part of her comeback era. The song has also appeared in pop culture, including Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, and even gained renewed attention when Barack Obama sang a short phrase from it at the Apollo Theater in 2012.

I'm, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
It's alright with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Ain't the same since, baby
Since we've been together
Ooh, loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Ooh, baby, let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether
Whether times are good or bad
And I'm happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad
And I'm happy or sad

Why somebody, why people want break up?
Oh, turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby?)
So being around you is all I see
Is what I want us to
Let's, we ought to stay together
Loving you whether
Whether times are good or bad
And I'm happy or sad

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether
Whether times are good or bad
Happy or sad
