[Intro]
D6       Dalt      D6     Dalt
 
 
[Verse 1]
D6                 Dalt
   Moments of the soft persuation
D6                 Dalt
Chiming bells the first occasion.
D6                 Dalt
   Tell the rest a smile awaken.
G                      Em
   Till the last reminder shaken,
D6               Dalt
   From whatever rude and sorrow
G                   Em          D
   Now the time is now,      tomorrow.
 
 
[Chorus]
F#m
In the instant of remaking
Db-5            Asus4
Just the giving of the taking
F#m            G
In the instant of the living
Em              Asus4       A
Just the taking of      the giving
 
 
[Verse 2]
D6                 Dalt
   Nothing more than earth and water,
D6                     Dalt
Smiles of spring from barren daughter,
D6                 Dalt
   Who at last in perfect motion’
G                        Em
   Turning ‘round embrace the ocean,
D6                  Dalt
   Gracious calf of mankind suffering;
G               Em        D
   Sacrifice so old    is ending.
 
 
[Chorus]
F#m
In the instant of remaking
Db-5            Asus4
Just the giving of the taking
F#m            G
In the instant of the living
Em              Asus4       A
Just the taking of      the giving
 
 
[Verse 3]
D6                 Dalt
   Moments of the soft persuation
D6                 Dalt
Chiming bells the first occasion.
D6                 Dalt
   Tell the rest a smile awaken.
G                      Em
   Till the last reminder shaken,
D6               Dalt
   From whatever rude and sorrow
G                   Em          D
   Now the time is now,      tomorrow.
