Intro
F F Dm Am A# A# C F
Verse 1
F C F A# C Gm C
Just as the sun is rising, so we must rise and plough;
F C F A# F C Gm C
And yoke and tend the plough team that stands so still and proud.
F C A# F Dm Gm C
Their backs as strong as iron but their hearts so gentle and kind;
F C F A# F C F
And yoke them to the ploughshare and leave the farm behind.
Chorus
A# C F A#
Turn, turn, the seasons turn;
F C
The children sport and play,
F C Dm A#
But the ploughman's first to feel the wind
F C F
And the sun at the break of day.
Gm C F F
Verse 2
F C F A# C Gm C
His hands are sore and calloused, he keeps them straight in line.
F C F A# F C Gm C
His eye is sure and steady, his team well matched and fine.
F C A# F Dm Gm C
The earth is hard and frosty as a mist comes from the sea;
F C F A# F C F
The open sky above him with gulls for company.
Chorus
A# C F A#
Turn, turn, the seasons turn;
F C
The children sport and play,
F C Dm A#
But the ploughman's first to feel the wind
F C F
And the sun at the break of day.
Gm C F F
Verse 3
F C F A# C Gm C
And when the land lies ready, we'll scatter and we'll sow;
F C F A# F C Gm C
And with God's help and sunlight the seeds shall surely grow.
F C A# F Dm Gm C
When the harvest's ended we'll gather in the grain;
F C F A# F C F
A bushel for the springtime to sow the fields again.
Chorus
A# C F A#
Turn, turn, the seasons turn;
F C
The children sport and play,
F C Dm A#
But the ploughman's first to feel the wind
F C F
And the sun at the break of day.
Gm C F F
Verse 4
F C F A# C Gm C
And now the yokin's over; the hard day's work is done.
F C F A# F C Gm C
The horses are but shadows in the waning of the sun.
F C A# F Dm Gm C
The ploughman needs his sleep now for his back is weary and sore,
F C F A# F C F
And early he must rise again and to ploughing come once more.
Chorus
A# C F A#
Turn, turn, the seasons turn;
F C
The children sport and play,
F C Dm A#
But the ploughman's first to feel the wind
F C F
And the sun at the break of day.
Chorus
A# C F A#
Turn, turn, the seasons turn;
F C
The children sport and play,
F C Dm A#
But the ploughman's first to feel the wind
F C F
And the sun at the break of day.
F C Dm A#
…But the ploughman's first to feel the wind
F C F
And the sun at the break of day.
