B E A E
 
[Verse]
B
It's about time to clean out the water,
B
Sisters, wives, mothers and daughters.
E
Can't you feel the planet getting hotter?
A                        E
How can you sit back and watch your own slaughter?
 
[Verse]
B
Old white men have had their turn,
B
Thousands of years what have we learned?
    E
The hurricanes churn, the wild fires burn,
      A                          E
We're mourning our sons, they're forging more guns.
 
[Chorus]
B                      F#                    E
It's about time, it's about time, it's about time.
F#                     G#m                   E
It's about time, it's about time, it's about time.
           F#                G#m
It's about earth, it's about life,
           E                                      F#  G#m
It's about saving the world, we've got to unite now,
           A
It's about time.
 
[Interlude]
B
B E A E
 
[Verse]
B
It's about time to care for the living,
B
Time to stop blaming, and start forgiving.
E
Who wrote the bible, took out the goddess,
A                      E
What has it taught us, where has it brought us?
 
[Verse]
B
Children in cages, shot dead in school,
B
How long before we let women rule?
E
It's about time to listen to your mother,
A                 E
Love one another, care for each other.
 
[Chorus]
B                      F#                    E
It's about time, it's about time, it's about time.
F#                     G#m                   E
It's about time, it's about time, it's about time.
           F#                 G#m
It's about choice, it's about rights,
           E
It's about facing the darkness,
                      F# G#m
Lift up your lights now,
           A
It's about time.
 
[Bridge]
F#
It's about time to shift this paradigm...
F#
It's about time to shift this paradigm...
F#
It's about time to shift this paradigm...
 
[Chorus]
    B                      F#                    E
Oh, it's about time, it's about time, it's about time.
F#                     G#m                   E
It's about time, it's about time, it's about time.
           F#                 G#m
It's about choice, it's about rights,
           E
It's about facing the darkness,
                      F# G#m
Lift up your lights now,
           A
It's about time.

It's about time.

It's about time.
           B
It's about time.
B
 
It's about time to shift this paradigm... (fade)
