                         "Let's Live For Today"
                       (Mogol / Shapiro / Julien)

Originally recorded in Italian by the Rokes.  The acoustic rhythm part is
played on a 12-string tuned down a minor third, so (for example) the C#m
is played as Em, the E as G, etc.

Intro [2X]:

	C#m                E
	 v   v   v   v     v   v   v   v
	-9---9---9-11-9--|-7---7---7-12-11-|

Verse 1:

	C#m                      E                      C#m
	When I think of all the worries people seem to find
	                      E                        C#m
	And how they're in a hurry to complicate their mind
	                  E                               C#m
	By chasing after money and dreams that can't come true
	                      E                               C#m
	I'm glad that we are different, we've better things to do
	                       E                      C#m
	May others plan their future, I'm busy lovin' you     (1-2-3-4)

Chorus:

	C#m                 G#m
	Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
	C#m                 G#m
	Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
	           A             B
	And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey
	C#m                  G#m       E  E/D#  C#m
	Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
	                             Live for today

Verse 2:

	We were never meant to worry the way that people do
	And I don't need to hurry as long as I'm with you
	We'll take it nice and easy and use my simple plan
	You'll be my lovin' woman, I'll be your lovin' man
	We'll take the most from living, have pleasure while we can  (2-3-4)

[repeat chorus]
