Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]A ti[Am]me to[Em] be r[Am]eapi[Em]n',[B]
[Em]a time to be sow[D]in'.
[G]The green leaves of [Am]Sum mer
are [F#]callin' me [B]home.
'Twas so [E]good to be [Am]young then,
in [D]a season of [G]plenty,
When [Em]the catfish were [Am]jumpin'
as [C]high as [B]the sky.

[Verse 2]
[Em]A time just [B]for plantin',
[Em]a time just for [D]ploughin'.
[G]A time to be [Am]courtin' a
[F#]girl of your [B]own.
'Twas so [E]good to be [Am]young then,
to [D]be close to the [G]earth,
And [Em]to stand by your [Am]wife
at the [Em]mo me[B]nt of bi[Em]rth.
A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'.

[Verse 3]
[Em]The green leaves
of Summer
are callin' me home.
'Twas so [E]good to be [Am]young then,
with [D]the sweet smell of [G]apples,
And the [Em]owl in t[Am]he pine tree
a- [C]winkin' his [B]eye.

[Verse 4]
[Em]A time just [B]for plantin',
[Em]a time just for plough[D]in'.
[G]A time just for [Am]livin', a [F#]place for to [B]die.
'Twas so [E]good to be [Am]young then,
to [D]be close to the [G]earth,
Now [Em]the green leaves of Sum[Am]mer
are call[Em]in' [B]me hom[Em]e.

[Verse 5]
'Twas [Em]so g[Am]ood to be young then,
to be [D]close to the [G]earth,
[Em]Now the green leaves o[Am]f Summer
are call[Em]in' [B]me home.
