about

The word "Yes" gets things going.
Sets things in motion.
Been saying it a lot lately.
(Inspired by E.E. Cummings - among other things)

lyrics

YES
also called: YES IS THE ONLY LIVING THING

Capo 5th fret

INTRO:
Am E

VERSE:
Am E Am E
THIS MOST AMAZING DAY, GREEN SPIRIT OF TREES
BLUE DREAM OF THE SKY, EVERY INFINITE THING

CHORUS:
YES, IS THE LIVING THING
YES, IS THE ONLY LIVING THING
YES, IS THE LIVING THING
YES, IS THE ONLY LIVING THING (break)

VERSE:
THE EARTH LAUGHS IN FLOWERS
THE EARTH CRIES IN RAIN
THE EARTH HOLDS ITS MYSTERIES
COLLIDING IN MY BRAIN

CHORUS:
YES, IS THE LIVING THING
YES, IS THE ONLY LIVING THING
YES, IS THE LIVING THING
YES, IS THE ONLY LIVING THING

VERSE:
NOW THE EARS OF MY EARS AWAKE
NOW THE EYES OF MY EYES ARE OPEN
NOW THE EARS OF MY EARS AWAKE
NOW THE EYES OF MY EYES ARE OPEN

CHORUS:
YES, IS THE LIVING THING
YES, IS THE ONLY LIVING THING
YES, IS THE LIVING THING
YES, IS THE ONLY LIVING THING

SOLO:

BRIDGE:
THE SEASON OF JOYFUL SONGS HAVE COME
WINTER HAS PASSED AND SNOW IS GONE
COME NOW LOVE, MY LOVELY ONE
COME ON, COME ON

TO BE YOURSELF AND NOBODY ELSE
Am
TO BE YOURSELF AND NOBODY ELSE
F
TO BE YOURSELF AND NOBODY ELSE
C
IS THE HARDEST FIGHT WE'LL EVER FIGHT
