    E                         A
The seconds on the day of the Easter Parade
            B
There was a flower child
F#         A           E
Running as fast as she can

E                            A
A new shade of rays and some bucket shoes
       B              F#          B   D
And an angel of mercy strung from her hand like a balloon
F#
Is this what you want, is this what you need
A
She whispered in her ear
    E      A        B                 C B  A
The day of love has come and are you awake?

E                               A
The sidewalk surfer through the colorful crowd
          B
She is an island 
F#       A         E
Happy as happy can be

E                             A
The hums and the drums of the marching band
             B
And now they say
F#          B                   D
She ran and she ran through the city
F#                   
Careful what you do, careful what you say
A 
And the angel disappeared
    E      A        B               C  B  A
The day of love has come make no mistake

E                               A
She picks up her feet and she's through the crowd
       B
With a desperate shout
F#          A        E
Pushing the pushers around
E                                   A
She tears down the stairs and she's onto the streets
            B          F#     B   D
Through the barricades waving her hands to the sky
    F#            
She stops right in front of the marching band
A
And raises her voice
    E      A        B               C  B  A
The day of love has come stop the parade

D/F#                  G

D/F#                  G

Nobody stops the marching band

E                           A
Eleven dancing girls in the pink and blue
            B
And they're smiling 
    F#               A        E
The sun's on the new polished brass

E                          A                   B
Half a dozen boots and the lonely sound of the clarinet 
F#       B    D                  
Pushing and pulling on the crowd
F#                            A
Left foot up and left foot down and music to the sky
    E      A       B                   C  B  A
The day of love is come let's have a parade

E                      A                B 
Two darks suits in the uniform from the side of the street
       F#         A            E
Come a runnin' as fast as they can
    E                          A
She pleads on her knees to the officers
          B          F#  B   D
"You must understand I have had a revelation
    F#         
And I insist that you here me out"
A 
But they drag her away
    E      A        B           C  B  A

E                            A
She picks herself up and she dusted off
          B
Then spun around
F#          A           E
Holding her head in her hands

E                          A
Two deep breaths and she's headed home
         B              F#          B    D
With the angel of mercy strung from her hand like a balloon
    F# 
"Is this what you want? Is this what you need?" 
A
She whispered in her ear
    E      A        B                 C  B  A
The day of love has come and are you awake?

    E           B7
She sits in the window
    C#m        G#m
The one by the door
    A            G#m        B
The one with the sun on the shade
    C#m          B             A            B
She looks at the smiles of the crowd on the street
F#m          G#m      A
