Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Dm


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

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


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


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


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


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


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