The Time Is Now Warren Barfield Standard Tuning EADGBe Am I cut my teeth, on the back of an old church pew I learned to walk in the ways of light and truth D Am G And I was told not to speak til I was spoken to Am I heard it preached, what I should and I should not do And the choir sang C Dm Am C Dm Am Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh Am I tried to be a good boy but I ain't a boy no more I've seen somethings that a man just can't ignore D Dm Am F G And this world's gone see what I am standing for Am A D G I've kept my peace, I can't hold my tongue anymore =Chorus= Am C You can't buy my silence, you can't steal my voice D Am E G You can't keep me quiet, I will bring the noise Am C Try to beat me down, tell me to shut my mouth Dm F But there's a time to speak and the time is now Am Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh Am Dm Am Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh A Am The squeaky wheel is always getting greased Well, I've been sitting still Park here on the side of the street E D Am F G D C Always tip–toeing trying not to wake the beast Am Oh but here I come G All you monsters had better run from me (Chorus 3X) You can't buy my silence, you can't steal my voice You can't keep me quiet, I will bring the noise Try to beat me down, tell me to shut my mouth But there's a time to speak and the time is now You can't buy my silence, you can't steal my voice You can't keep me quiet, I will bring the noise Try to beat me down, tell me to shut my mouth But there's a time to speak and the time is now Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh This is my first time putting chords to a song... only because this song is truthful and my absolute favorite. I waited a week to wait for someone else, but I couldn't wait any longer lol. Listen to the song for timing and the strumming pattern. God Bless!
