C#m
- And looking up I saw the snowbirds wheeling in the sky;
-
A
- They said "we are the last ones left",
- H
C
#m
- And so I brought them in, I gave them comfort gave them
rest,
-
A - H
C#m
- Just in time, to live another day,
-
A - H
C#m
- Just in time, oh they'll live another day;
- Just in time I read the Book,
- Such a revelation, we must give back what we took,
- Or the earth will roar like a wounded beast,
- The mountains will come crashing from the valleys to the
sea,
-
A - H

C#m
- Will you save it just in time?"
-
- Just in time, I saw the dawn,
- Watched the sun arising on a field of golden corn,
- And through the mist, a million sang,
- Friends of the Earth, calling out to every man,
-

- That the end of our world has already begun,
-
F#m
- There are so many things we will not see again,
- G#
- Every day there's another one dying away...
- C#m
A
- Calling for help, Help from your hand,
- F#m
G#
- Hand coming down, down to the world;
- C#m
A
- World it is time, time for us all,
- F#m
- And all that is life,
- G#
C#m
- To be living together before everything slips away...
