[Eb] A time to [Bb] be weakened, [Ebm] a time [Db] to be sullen.
[Gb] The green [Abm] leaves of summer [F] are calling [Bb] me home.
T [Eb]'was so good to [Abm] be young then, in the [Eb] [Gb] season of plenty,
[Ebm] When the catfish [F] were jumping [Ebm] as high [F] as the [Bb] sky.
[Ebm] A time [Bb] just for planting, [Eb] a time just [Db] for plowing,
[Gb] A time to [Abm] be courting.
[F] A girl [Bb] of your old, t'was [Eb] so good [Abm] to be young then,
To [F] be close [Gb] to the earth, [Ebm] and to [Eb] stand [F] by your wife
[Ab] At the [Bb] moment [Ebm]
of [Eb] birth.
