Verse 1:
   DmDm                C majorC
They tell a tale at Harvest time, of a man they call John Barleycorn
 DmDm                 C majorC
A augmentedA young man cut down in his prime, So that his soul might be reborn
  Bb majorBb                C majorC
His seed is put into the ground, and as the season turns around
  Bb majorBb            C majorC             DmDm
He rises up to meet the sky, only to be cut down by the Harvest

Chorus:
C majorC             DmDm
Round the seasons come and go
C majorC            DmDm
High and mighty are laid low
C majorC            DmDm
Hand the reaper what you sow
       Bb majorBb
For you will climb
       C majorC            DmDm
But then it's time to be ready for the Harvest


Verse 2:
   DmDm                 C majorC
John Barleycorn will pay the price, our daily bread and grain to yield
  DmDm            C majorC
Cut down as a sacrifice, like youth upon a battlefield
Bb majorBb                C majorC
What a gift he has to give, that he should die that we might live
Bb majorBb                C majorC               DmDm
Man can know no greater love, and we enjoy the blessings of the harvest


Chorus:
C majorC             DmDm
Round the seasons come and go
C majorC            DmDm
High and mighty are laid low
C majorC            DmDm
Hand the reaper what you sow
       Bb majorBb
For you will climb
       C majorC            DmDm
But then it's time to be ready for the Harvest

Bridge:
Bb majorBb            C majorC   Bb majorBb           A augmentedA
And in the gather do you feel, one more turning of the wheel?


Verse 3:
DmDm                C majorC
Remember as you sow the seed, the neck that feels the reaper's blade
  DmDm                C majorC
And so your life becomes indeed, the corners turned and choices made
Bb majorBb               C majorC
Remember as you seek the light, to every morning comes the night
Bb majorBb                   C majorC                DmDm
And when you feast and have your fill, don’t forget it's only 'til the Harvest


Chorus:
C majorC             DmDm
Round the seasons come and go
C majorC            DmDm
High and mighty are laid low
C majorC            DmDm
Hand the reaper what you sow
       Bb majorBb
For you will climb
       C majorC            DmDm
But then it's time to be ready for the Harvest
