A [F]time to be [Gm]courting, a [E7]girl of your [A7]own.
T’was so [D7]good to be [Gm]young then, to be [C7]close to the [F]Earth.
And to [Dm]stand by your [Gm]wife, at the [Dm]mo-[Gm6]ment [A7]of [Dm]birth.
3. A [Dm]time to be [A7]reaping, a [Dm]time to be [C7]sowing.
The [F]green leaves of [Gm]Summer are [E7]callin’ me [A7]home.
T’was so [D7]good to be [Gm]young then, with the [C7]sweet smell of [F]apples,
And the [Dm]Owl in the [Gm6]Pine tree a-[Bb7]winking his [A7]eye.
4. A [Dm]time just for [A7]planting, a [Dm]time just for [C7]ploughing.
A [F]time just for [Gm]living, a [E7]place for to [A7]die.
T’was so [D7]good to be [Gm]young then, to be [C7]close to the [F]Earth,
Now the [Dm]green leaves of [Gm]Summer are [Dm]call-[Gm6]ing [A7]me [Dm]home.
