I found a chord chart online for the chords, Always and Forever. This will give you an idea for the progressions in the Key of D. The time signature is 6/8 and the tempo moderately flows. The song was written in 1976 by Rod Temperton, who was Heatwave's keyboard player,



D             Dmaj7 
Always and forever, 

Bm               
Each moment with you

G                D 
Is just a like a dream to me

Em7               A7sus,A7 
that somehow came true

D              Dmaj7 
  And I know tomorrow

Bm 
will still be the same,

G                  D 
'Cause we've got a life of love

Em7              A7sus,A7 
That won't ever change

(..chorus..)

They'll always be sunshine
When I look at you
Its something I can't explain
Just the things that you do.
And if you get lonely 
call me and take
a second to give to me
that magic you make

(..chorus..)



CHORUS

Dmaj7
Everyday 

             G   D       Em7  
love me your own special way.

            Asus7  A7 
Melt all my heart away

       Dmaj7,F#m 
With a smile.

G    Bm      Em7 
Take time to tell me

F#m        F#m7 
you really care

    G     Bm    Asus7, A7 
And we'll share tomorrow

Dmaj7, F#m7 
together....

G    Bm     Asus7, A7 
I'll always love you

Dmaj7 
forever ...

                     Cmaj7 Asus7 A7 
(always forever love you
