          A             | Asus4 A | A/G G |
When it's cold, it comes slow
      A                  | Asus4 A | A/G G |
It is warm, just watch it grow
    | E | % | Dadd+11 | D | C | % | Bbadd+11 | Bb |
All around me


[Bridge]

        It is     now

[Chorus]
Cmaj7/G                     D/G
Just a little bit of it can bring you up or down.
         Cmaj7/G                      D/G
Like the supper it is cooking in your hometown.
      Cmaj7/G                    D/G
It is chicken, it is eggs, it is in between your legs.
      Cmaj7/G                      D/G
It is walking on the moon, leaving your cocoon.


[Verse]
A          Asus4 A    A/G          G
 It is the jig – saw, it is purple haze.
   A              Asus4 A               A/G           G
It never stays in one   place, but it's not a passing phase
      E              Esus4 E
It is in the singles bar
       Dadd+11         D
In the distance of the face
      C                           Bbadd+11    Bb
It is in between the cages, it is always in a space


[Bridge]
     | A/B |
It is here
| A/B      B/C# | C/D | D |
        It is     now

[Chorus]
Cmaj7/G                              D/G
Any rock can be made to roll, if you enough of it to pay the toll
       Cmaj7/G                   D/G
It has no home in words or gold, not even in your favourite hole
Cmaj7/G                     D/G
It is hope for the dope, it rides your horse without a hoof
      Cmaj7/G                       D/G
It is shaken not stirred; cocktails on the roof


[Verse]
A                   Asus4  A         A/G        G
 When you eat right thru' it you see everything alive
      A          Asus4  A      A/G              G
It is inside the spirit, with enough grit to survive
       E                  Esus4   E
If you think that it's pretentious
            Dadd+11     D
You've been taken for a ride
C                               Bbadd+11           Bb
Look across the mirror sonny, before you choose, decide


[Bridge]
     | A/B |
It is here
| A/B      B/C# | C/D | D |
        It is     now


[Outro]
| Cmaj7/G | % | D/G | % |
                 It is Real
| Cmaj7/G | % | D/G | % |
                 It is Rael

| Cmaj7/G | % | D/G | % |
| Cmaj7/G | % | D/G | % |


          Cmaj7/G                       D/G
'Cos it's only knock and knowall, but I like it
          Cmaj7/G                       D/G
Yes, it's only knock and knowall, but I like it
          Cmaj7/G                       D/G
Yes, it's only knock and knowall, but I like it, like it...
