Dm    D    Dm    D
Ooooh oooh ooooh oooh


[Verse 1]

  Dm         A          Dm         C
A time to be reaping, a time to be sowing
    F               Gm         E          A
The green leaves of summer are calling me home
      D             Gm                C         F
T'was so good to be young then in the season of plenty
         Dm           E          Dm          A   Dm
When the catfish were jumping as high as the sky


[Verse 2]

             A      Dm             C       F
A time to be plowing, a time to be planting
             Gm         E            A
A time to be courting a girl of your own
      D             Gm                C            F
T'was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth
       Dm            E            Dm  A     Dm   D
And to stand by your wife, at the moment of birth
Dm   D
oooh oooh
