Am G
Listen, listen

To croon a knell
Am
Of rights and wrongs
Verse 2:
Am G
My son, my son

Remember the burn

When leaves were fire and seasons turned
Am G
We fell and fell
C Am
And sang a song
C Em
To weave a cell
Am
All autumn long
Chorus:

And down in the vale

My love, my love

And sowed a song

Against their greed
Verse 5:

My son, my son

And twisted and screamed

For ours, a vale
Am
of better dreams

And down in the vale
C Am C Em Am
Hear the reaper swing, the reaper swing
C Em Am
the reaper swing
Am G
Down in the vale
