(verse 1)
       D5        G5
In the daytime,
              D5        G5
Time for cele-bration.
               D5    G5
No use lookin' down,
             B5    A5  G5
If it's over here.

       D5     G5
It's a world,
          D5     G5
A new cre-ation,
        E5
And the golden light of the moning,
         A5                 E5
Makes it easy to comb your hair.
        G5           D5
And the love of the child;

It's the time  of the year.

In the daytime,
               D5         G5
You can move a mountain.
       D5                  G5
With a blink of your eye;
              B5                  A5      G5
Now it's over here, now it's over there.

       D5      G5
It's a world,
               D5        G5
With no compli-cations.
        E5
And the curtains on the window,
      A5                 E5
Start blowing like your hair.
        G5           D5
And the love that I feel,
              E5 E5      D5    G5  D5  G5
'Cos it's the time  of the year.

(middle 8)
B5          A5              G5             A5
 Mysterious moon, found me cryin' in the dark;
B5        A5                G5       A5  B5
 Heard my footsteps on the stairs.
           A5             G5
Mysterious moon found me cryin',
                     D5      G5         D5     G5
But the sun dried my tears; showed he cares.

In the daytime,

No use lookin' down;

If it's over here.
