Tonight Today

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.
