"Minstrel's Song"
I listened to Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 this afternoon, and then I figured out the chords for "Minstrel's Song" (referencing the studio version) and noticed an interesting feature. The song is in C major, but for the "Ev'rywhere love is all around" section, the chord progression includes a D major (with a F# accidental). Musically, this accidental illustrates the "ev'rywhere" and "all around."

"Minstrel's Song"
At the end of "Minstrel's Song," the "around" from the line "Everywhere love is around" is repeated with two different melismas: G G C and G G D (it's also sung to these phrases earlier in the song). These span a fourth and a fifth respectively, and these intervals give a sense of the breadth of where "love is."
