Verse 1:
(Note: While playing each chord, there is a part where
       the two "top strings" of each chord are played
       open twice quickly, then hammered-on quickly back
       to the original chord. Like this):

 strum         strum      strum         strum
            C                  Am
Come on get ready, this is the Spring of our love
            C                        Am
Come on get ready, feels like it's ordained from above
            C                Am
We have the power to do what we came to do
                                               *
            C                Am                G (continue into chorus)
This is the hour, the sun is shining on you
*G (barre) is downstrummed 6 to 8 times before chorus
Chorus:
              C                        Am
The future is now, the past is gone forever
              F                        G
We can come together, the light is our way
              C                        Am
The future is now, the past is gone forever
            F
We belong together....
    C     (down strum)
Get ready
Chorus picking part:
(Let notes ring)

The future is now                  The past is gone forever

We can come together               The light is our way
Repeat first three parts of chorus (C, Am, F), then end with:

 Get ready
Verse 2:
            C                   Am
Come on get ready, the beach is washing away
            C                           Am
Come on get ready, the high tide of our love is here to stay
                 C               Am
We will have the power to do the good and the true
                                                     *
            C                        Am              G (continue into chorus)
This is the hour, the whole world is waiting for you
*G (barre) is downstrummed 6 to 8 times before chorus
(Chorus repeats then into solo at end of chorus)
Solo:
(Note: There is obviously an easier way to play
       the end of this. However, I find that playing
       it the way that I have tabbed sounds better)

After solo:
(Chorus repeats once without guitar until):
                                       G
We can come together, the light is our way
(G is downstrummed 6 to 8 times, then second half of chorus repeats with guitar)
(Chorus is then repeated again with different lyrics (get ready x4) and variation to
part):

  Get ready                          Get ready
Ending:
(Comprised of two parts. Part 1 is the end solo, Part 2 is a second guitar playing power chords)
Part 1
End solo:

Part 2
Power chords (let ring)
