[Ebm] [Eb]
[Ebm] [Eb]
Oooooooooo Oooooooooo
Time
[Ebm] [Bb] to be weaking
[Ebm] A time to [Db] be sowing
[Gb] The green [B] leaves of [Abm] summer
[F] Are calling [Bb] me home
[Eb] Twas so good [Abm] to be young then
[Db] In the [Gb] season of plenty, [Ebm] when the catfish [F] were jumping [Ebm] as high [Bb] as the sky.
[Ebm] A time [Bb] just for planting, [Ebm] a time just [Db] for plowing, [Gb] a time to [Abm] be courting.
[F] A girl [Bb] of your old [Eb] was so [Abm] good to be young then, to be close [Gb] to the earth,
[Ebm] and to stand [Eb] [F] by your wife [Ebm] at [Ab] the [Bb] moment [Ebm] of [Eb] birth.
[Ebm] Ooh, a [Eb]
[Ebm] time to [Bb] be weeping, [Ebm] a time to [Db] be sowing, [Gb] a time just [Abm] for living.
[F] A place for [Bb] to die, twice [Eb] so good to [Abm] be young then,
To be [Db] close [Gb] to the earth
[Ebm] Now the green [F] leaves of summer
[Ebm] Are [Bb] calling [Ebm] me home
[Eb] Twas so good [Abm] to be young then
To be [Db] close [Gb] to the earth
[Ebm] Now the green [F] leaves of summer
[Ebm] Are [Bb] calling [Ebm]
me [Eb] home
[Ebm] [N]
