Oooooooooooh, oooh ooh..... 
 
A5                E5           A5                    G5 
A time to be reaping, a time to be sowing 
C5      D5               E5                  A5   
The green leaves of summer are calling me home 
   G5                                 D5            G5                C5 
It was good to be young then in the season of plenty 
      A5                        D5               F5                  E5 
When the catfish were jumping as high as the sky. 
 

A5                        E5           A5                    G5 
A time just for planting, a time just for plowing 
C5      D5               E5            A5 
A time to be courting a girl of your own 
G5                                 D5            G5                        C5 
T'was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth 
A5                        D5               F5                  E5 
And to stand by your wife, at the moment of birth. 
 

A5                E5           A5                    G5 
A time to be reaping, a time to be sowing 
C5      D5               E5            A5 
A time just for living, a place for to die. 
G5                                 D5            G5                        C5 
T'was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth 
A5                                    D5                 F5      E5      A5 
Now the green leaves of Summer are calling me home 
 

G5                                 D5            G5                        C5 
T'was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth 
A5                                    D5               F5       E5       A5 
Now the green leaves of Summer are calling me home 
 
Ooooooooooooooh, oooh oooh..
