    D5        E5
And each one there
    D5         E5
Has one thing shared:

          A5
They have sweated beneath the same sun,
D5                          A5
Looked up in wonder at the same moon,
E5    D5
And, wept when it was all done
                   A5     D5
For being done too soon,
                   A5
For being done too soon.

    D5     A5
For being done.
