1. A Dm time to be A7 reaping, a Dm time to be C7 sowing,
the F green leaves of Gm summer are E7 calling me A7 home.
T’was so D7 good to be Gm young then, in the C7 season of F plenty.
When the Dm catfish were Gm6 jumping as Bb7 high as the A7 sky.
2. A Dm time just for A7 planting and a Dm time just for C7 plowing.
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-Gm6ment 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-Bb7winking 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-Gm6ing A7 me Dm home.
OUTRO:
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-Gm6ing A7 me Dm home. Gm6 A7 Dm
