(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". Intro: Cmaj7 (w/volume swell; drums enter) Cmaj7 Em9 [2X, w/bass fill 2nd time] / / / / / / / / bass fill:

              Sunrise,     sunset

        Cmaj7                          Em9
              What you're born with is     what you get

         G       Cadd9      G    Cadd9
        Let your fear just pass away

         G        Cadd9      G        Cmaj9
        Then your love will fill your days

        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 -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
