The Association - The Time It Is Today

      
 
 (Russ Giguere)
 
 Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
 Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
 
 Very complex and personal, an excellent work by Russell Giguere. At
 times very pastoral, at times very angry, one man's plea for humanity to
 "wake up".

 Verse 1:
 
 Cmaj7     Em9    
  Sunrise,  sunset
 Cmaj7                     Em9          
  What you're born with is  what you get
  G       CaddD      G    CaddD 
 Let your fear just pass away
  G        CaddD      G        Cmaj9 
 Then your love will fill your days
 Em9   
 I know
 
 Verse 2:
 
 I need so little, yet so much
 Child's sweet laughter, woman's touch
 I can't say just what is real
 All I know is what I feel
 I know
 
 Bridge:
 
  D7                               
 (Ba-ba-ba...) The time it is today
 And we must find our way
 My heartbeat clearly states
 The answer's not in hate
                      G/B       G      A  
 I once believed that love was but a dream
 D7            
 But now I know
       G/B       G       A   
 That love's a flowing stream
         Bm                                         
 They're lying, killing, they're pushing their rules
       G                                      
 They tell me the prophets all were just fools
     Bm                                  
 But I know different and I won't be used
       G                
 It's they that are lost
      Cmaj7        Em9 Cmaj7 Em9 
 It's they are confused
 (They are confused)
 (They are confused)
 
 Verse 3:
 
 Sunrise, sunset
 What you're born with is what you get
 All your world is all your fears
 They don't change, but pass in years
 Em9 E (end cold)
 I know
