As recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary (From the 1968 Album LATE AGAIN) [Intro] D G D G D G [Verse 1]
D
Ah, moments of the soft persuasion

                   G
Chiming bells, the first occasion

D
Tell the rest a smile awaken

G              Em
'Til the last reminder shaken

D
From whatever rude and sorrow

G                Em    D
Now, the time is now-tomorrow
[Chorus]
F#m            D/C
In the instant of remaking

G               A
Just the giving of the taking

F#m            G
In the instant of the living

Em                     A
Just the taking of the giving
[Verse 2]
    D
Oh, nothing more than earth and water

                      G
Smiles of spring from barren daughter

D              C
Who at last in perfect motion

G                Em
Turning 'round embrace the ocean

D
Gracious calf of mankind suffering

G            Em     D
Sacrifice of old is ending
[Chorus]
F#m            D/C
In the instant of remaking

G               A
Just the giving of the taking

F#m            G
In the instant of the living

Em                     A
Just the taking of the giving
[Verse 3]
D
Moments of the soft persuasion

                   G
Chiming bells, the first occasion

D
Tell the rest a smile awaken

G              Em
'Til the last reminder shaken

D
From whatever rude and sorrow

G                Em    D
Now, the time is now-tomorrow
