[Intro] G G G Em D [Verse 1]
G                 G              G        Em     D
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 born of all and one
[Chorus]
    Em      D      C
And nobody, nobody knows

C                 C        G
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders

C                 C                Em     D
Don't carry it all, don't carry it all

C               C         G
 We are all our hands and holders

             Bm                 C
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun

C               G   G  G Em D
This I swear to all
[Verse 2]
G           G                 G       Em     D
Monument to build beneath the arbors

 G                 G                 G      Em    D
Upon a plinth that towers toward 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]
    Em      D      C
And nobody, nobody knows

C                 C        G
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders

C                 C                Em   D
Don't carry it all, don't carry it all

C               C         G
 We are all our hands and holders

             Bm                 C
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun

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

Bm                        Em
Laid upon the body of the boy

Bm                               C
Lazy will the loam come from its hiding

      Am                              D
And 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
[Chorus]
    Em      D      C
And nobody, nobody knows

C                 C        G
Let the yoke fall from our shoulders

C                  C                Em   D
 Don't carry it all, don't carry it all

C               C         G
 We are all our hands and holders

             Bm                 C
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun

C               G G G    Em     D        G  G  G
This I swear to all, and this I swear to all

    Em     D        G  G  G
And this I swear to all

    Em     D        G  G
And this I swear to all

   G               Em  D  G
To all, to all, to all
