[Am] Field and fen are browning. [F] Leaves are blazing copper.
[E7] Autumn winds begin to [Am] blow.

[E7] where the western waters [Am] flow.

[Am] So we come together [F] to fulfill a promise.
[E7] We’ve a covenant we [Am] share.
Searching for the morrow, [F] all our joy and sorrow

[A] Last spring’s [Dm] sowing, [G7] reaping time in Sep[C]tem[E7]ber.
