Here we come to a turning of the season.

G              G              G    Em  D
Witness to the arc toward the sun.

  G                  G             G       Em  D
A neighbor's blessed burden within reason.

  G              G                G
Becomes a burden borne of all and one.
[Chorus]
    Em      D      C
And nobody, nobody knows.

                           G
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders.

  Don't carry it all, don't carry it all.

  We are all our hands and holders.

Beneath this bold and brilliant sun.

This I swear to all.
[Verse 2]
  G            G                G       Em  D
A monument to build beneath the arbors.

 G                 G                  G      Em  D
Upon a plinth that towers towards the trees.

    G            G                G          Em  D
Let every vessel pitching hard to starboard.

G               G                  G
Lay its head on summer's freckled knees.
[Chorus]

And nobody, nobody knows.

This I swear to all..... this I swear to all.
[Bridge]
    Bm                             C
And there a wreath of trillium and ivy

Bm                      Em
Laid upon the body of a boy.

Bm                               C
Lazy will the loam come from its hiding.

  Am                               D
Return this quiet searcher to the soil.
[Verse 3]
   G                G               G       Em  D
So raise a glass to turnings of the season.

    G              G                G    Em  D
And watch it as it arcs towards the sun.

             G                    G             G       Em  D
And you must bear your neighbor's burden within reason.

         G              G                 G
And your labors will be borne when all is done.

Let the yoke fall from our shoulders.

C                                    Em    (D)
  Don't carry it all, don't carry it all.

  We are all our hands and holders.

             Bm                  C
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun.

                G            Em     D         G
This I swear to all..... and this I swear to all.

    Em     D         G           Em     D  G
And this I swear to all..... and this I swear to all.

To all, to all, to all...
