Just in time    (intro)

 

    Am - F - Dm - G    - Am - F - Dm - Am ~

 

     Am                 F

1. Just in time I heard the cry,

             G                                                 Am

    and looking up I saw the snowbirds wheeling in the sky.

             Am                        F

    They said, "We are the last ones left",

            G                                                  Am

    and so I brought them in, I gave them comfort, gave them rest.

                 F      - G                         Am

    Just in time,        to live another day,

               F       G                                Am

    just in time, oh, they'll live another day.

 

     Am                 F

2. Just in time I read the Book,

      G                                       Am

    such a revelation, we must give back what we took.

                Am                             F

    Or the earth will roar like a wounded beast,

              G                                                        Am

    the mountains will come crashing from the valleys to the sea.

                F       G                                Am

    Just in time, oh, don't throw it all away,

                F      - G                               Am     - F - Dm  - E

    just in time,        don't throw it all away !

 

       Am                         F

    "Who will save this world of mine ?

    Dm                    E        Am

    Will you save it just in time?"

 

      Am                F

3. Just in time, I saw the dawn,

       G                                         Am

    watched the sun arising on a field of golden corn.

              Am                         F

    And through the mist, a million sang,

       G                                       Am

    Friends of the Earth, calling out to every man,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                F       G                               Am

    Just in time, oh, don't throw it all away, no no no !

                F       G                              Am     - F - Dm - E

    Just in time, oh, we'll live another day.

 

            Am

    Oh, how can I tell you how close we have come,

            F

    that the end of our world has already begun,

                   Dm

    there are so many things we will not see again,

                E

    every day there's another one dying away.

 

     Am                     F

    Calling for help, help from your hands,

     Dm                            E

    hand coming down, down to the world.

      Am                    F

    World, it is time, time for us all,

          Dm                           E

    and all that is life, to be living together before everything

               Am   - F - Dm - E    

    slips away.                      

 

+ Am - F - Dm - E (3x) …..
