It is a good idea to put a capo on the fifth fret, but I tabbed then without a capo
(fifth fret means open string with the capo).
Here is the intro. When applied to piano, it sounds just like the CD:
e--------5-----8-----10-----8---5---- Play this over and over again and
B--8--------------------------------- VERY fast...
G----7-----7-----7------7-----7---7--
D------5-----5-----5------5----------
A------------------------------------
E------------------------------------
Then the cymbals kick in. I don't know the exact name of some of the chords with
additions, so I just put the root chord above each measure.

(Right now!..)
Don't want to wait 'til tomorrow
Why put it off another day?
One more walk through problems
Built-up and stands in our way, ah
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans or dream about yesterday, hey
C'mon turn, turn this thing around
, hey
It's your tomorrow
(Right now),
C'mon, it's everything
(Right now),
Catch a magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm
And nothing falls into place, no
Only missed by a fraction
Slipped a little off your pace, oh
The more things you get, the more you want
Just trade in one for the other
Workin' so hard, to make it easier, whoa
Got to turn, c'mon turn this thing around
, hey
It's your tomorrow
(Right now)
C'mon, it's everything
(Right now)
Catch that magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
It's enlightened me, right now
What are you waitin' for?
Oh, yeah, right now
, hey
It's your tomorrow
(Right now)
C'mon, it's everything
(Right now)
Catch that magic moment, and do it right, right now
Oh, right now
It's what's happening
Right here and now
Right now
It's right now
Oh
Tell me, what are you waiting for?
Turn this thing around
