(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; 
         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  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. 

(instrumental)  D  G (7x) 
                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 
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, 
              Esus4 E      D    G  D  G 
'Cos it's the time  of the year.
