As recorded by Big Country (From the 1983 Album THE CROSSING) [Intro] E [Verse 1]

E
Who saw the fences falling

E
Who broke the ploughman's bread

E
Who heard the winter calling

E
Who wore the tailor's thread

E
How many sheaves were counted

E
How did the carriage shine

E
How many thoughts were doubted

E
How did the landlord dine

[Chorus]

B           A             E
Just as you sow you shall reap

            A             E
Just as you sow you shall reap

[Interlude] E B E A E B E A B C#m B A E B E A E [Verse 2]

E
Who led the mayday feasting

E
Who saw the harvest home

E
Who left the future wasting

E
Who watched the families go

E
See where the bowls are empty

E
See where the arms reach

E
See where the butter melted

E
See where the altars creak

[Chorus]

B           A             E
Just as you sow you shall reap

            A             E
Just as you sow you shall reap

               B
In a harvest home

E
Where were the days of promise

E
Where were the gifts divine

E
Where were the heroes honest

E
Where was the summer wine

E
Watch how the waves must shatter

E
Watch how the shore divides

E
Watch how the nets will tatter

E
Watch Canute and his bride

[Chorus]

B           A             E
Just as you sow you shall reap

            A             E
Just as you sow you shall reap

              B  E A E B
In a harvest home

E             B  E A E B E
In a harvest home
