    D        E
And each one there
    D         E
Has one thing shared:

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

E D  A

    D     A
For being done.
