*from 'Back To Earth' (1978)*


Intro:

D  G (x3), 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;
         Esus4 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,
              Esus4 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
 Heard my footsteps on the stairs. 
Bm          A             G
 Mysterious moon found me cryin', but the sun,
         D      G         D     G
Dried my tears; showed he cares.

Instrumental:

D  G (x7), Bm  A  G

Verse 3:

       D       G
In the daytime,
              D       G
Time for cele-bration.
               D    G
No use lookin' down;
                   Bm   A  G
Children open your eyes.

       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,
              Esus4 E      D
'Cos it's the time  of the year.
