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.

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

And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey
DO#m SOL#m MI MI/MIb DO#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)
