(intro) D  G (3x)
        Bm  A  G

(verse 1)
       D        G
In the daytime,
              D        G
Time for cele-bration.
               D    G
No use lookin' down,
             Bm    A  G
If it's over here.

       D     G
It's a world,
          D     G
A new cre-ation,
        Em9
And the golden light of the moning,
         A                 E
Makes it easy to comb your hair.
        G           D
And the love of the child;
         E4 E      D     G  D  G
It's the time  of the year.

(verse 2)
       D       G
In the daytime,
               D         G
You can move a mountain.
       D                  G
With a blink of your eye;
              Bm                  A      G
Now it's over here, now it's over there.

       D      G
It's a world,
               D        G
With no compli-cations.
        Em9
And the curtains on the window,
      A                 E
Start blowing like your hair.
        G           D
And the love that I feel,
              E4 E      D    G  D  G
'Cos it's the time  of the year.

(middle 8)
Bm          A              G             A
 Mysterious moon, found me cryin' in the dark;
Bm        A                G       A  Bm
 Heard my footsteps on the stairs.
           A             G
Mysterious moon found me cryin',
                     D      G         D     G
But the sun dried my tears; showed he cares.

(verse 3)
       D        G
In the daytime,
              D        G
Time for cele-bration.
               D     G
No use lookin' down;
             Bm    A  G
If it's over here.

       D     G
It's a world,
        D      G
A whole nation,
        Em9
Now the white boats have landed,
        A            E
And the innocent are here.
   G             D
So dream for the child,
              E4 E      D    G  D  G
'Cos it's the time  of the year.
