C majorC       E-F: G+G
 Listen easy,     you can hear God calling
C majorC     FF        G+G    FF G+G
 Walking barefoot by the stream
C majorC       E-F: G+G
 Come on to me,    your hair's softly falling
C majorC    FF      G+G
 On my face as in a dream
    FF        C majorC
And the time will be our time
    FF         C majorC    Csus4Csus4 C majorC
And the grass won't pay no mind

C majorC       E-F: G+G
 Saying nothing,    lying where the sun is
C majorC     FF       G+G
  Baking down upon our sides
C majorC         E-F: G+G
 My lips touch you,    with their soft wet kisses
C majorC      FF      G+G
 Your hands gentle in reply
    FF        C majorC
And the time will be our time
    FF         C majorC     G+G
And the grass won't pay no mind

C majorC        FF
Child, touch my soul with your cries
    G+G             C majorC
And the music will know what we've found
C majorC     FF
I, hear a hundred good-byes
   C majorC          DmDm
But today I hear only one sound
  C majorC           DmDm
The moment we're living is now
DmDm break:
Now now now now now now now

C majorC          E-F: G+G
  Young bird flying,    and a soft wind blowing
C majorC      FF        G+G
 Cools the sweat inside my palms
C majorC        E-F: G+G
  Close my eyes,    hear the flowers growing
C majorC      FF       G+G
 As you lay sleeping in my arms
    FF        C majorC
And the time will be our time
    FF         C majorC
And the grass won't pay no mind
    FF         C majorC
No the grass won't pay no mind
