Tom: A
A
Everything flows in an endless stream
A D
And if we close our eyes
D
Like a vision or a dream
D E A
We'll see this world in it's myriade ways:
A
Everything flows and every single minute
A D
Brings a change to the earth and to everybody in it -
D E A
Watch a million lives playing out their days.
A D
People at this very time
D E A
Are making many things-that's so That's so
A D
Money and planes and pacts and plans
D E
the wise man understands
E A
But fools are in command.
A D
In the desert rockets point
D E
Towards the stars: in sleazy bars
A
Someone's getting drunk and ugly:
A
On the city sidewalks hustlers
D E
Pick their prey: far away.
A
Bodies bake on surfing beaches.
[Chorus]
D E A E
Tonight Today Feel it all going on
A B7 E
all this moment's different strands of life:
D E A E
Tonight Today we're a part of it all
A E
Though we're on our own and making love.
[Verse 2]
A
Everything flows - Nixon's called a meeting:
A D
There's a massive demonstration
D
And some kids are getting beaten up
E A
In time to make tomorrow's first editions:
A
There's striptease shows
A
While at Buckingham Palace
A D
They're working out the seating plans for Jackie and Onassis
D E A
And in Kalamazoo there's two boys fishing.
A D
People at this very time
D E
Are making many things-that's so
E A
That's so:
A D
Speeches and sailing-boats and scenes
D E
while kids in faded jeans
E A
sit cross-legged in the park
A
In a Roman night-club Carlo
D E
stuffs his mouth - further south
A
Dino dines on left-out garbage
A
In a jungle hospital
A D E
a mother sighs - baby cries
A
new arrival in the life-stream
[Chorus]
D E A E
Tonight Today Feel it all going on
A B7 E
all this moment's different strands of life:
D E A E
Tonight Today we're a part of it all
A E
Though we're on our own and making love.
