Learn more about "The Book Of Love" by Peter Gabriel

The heartwarming sheet music arrangement of this wedding classic comes complete with piano notation, chords, and lyrics. The song follows an easy, flowing intro–three–verses–coda structure, making the most of the romantic chord flow.

Peter Gabriel's cover version is best known, but the song was originally written by Stephin Merritt for his American indie-pop group The Magnetic Fields in 1999. Most recently, it could be heard in the final series of the TV show Scrubs, but it's the go-to wedding song in other shows too—like South Park, General Hospital, and, in 2014, Extraterrestrial.
