Chords with lyrics
Ed Sheeran tipped me off to this beautiful song, but Cara Dillon's voice is so captivating. I think she does
my favorite version. Cara's version is arranged for piano, with lots of noodly bits in-between the chords
-- and lots of frills/sustains. I tried to find & adapt those parts for guitar as best I could.
All of the song's chords are tabbed-out at the very bottom ;)
No Capo / Standard Tuning

Of all the money that e'er I had

B minorBm Gmaj7Gmaj7 D MajorD A augmentedA
And all the harm that e'er I've done

And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had
B minorBm (G+G) D/F#D/F# (A augmentedA) G+G B minorBm
They would wish me one more day to stay

But since it falls unto my lot
(D MajorD) E minor 7Em7 D MajorD B minorBm (Bm7Bm7) Asus4-A
That I should rise and you should not

I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
B minorBm (G+G) D/F#D/F# (A augmentedA) G/Dsus4 (F#m7F#m7) B minorBm
Goodnight and joy be with you all

By a time to rise and a time to fall
