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

It's the time of the year.

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 Bm
 Heard my footsteps on the stairs.

Mysterious moon found me cryin',

But the sun dried my tears; showed he cares.

A whole nation,
    Em9
Now the white boats have landed,
    A      E
And the innocent are here.

So dream for the child,

'Cos it's the time of the year.
