[Intro]
G G G Em D x2
[Verse]
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 neighbors blessed burden within reason.
G G G
Becomes a burden borne of all in one.
[Chorus]
Em D C
And nobody, nobody knows.
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 Em D
This I swear to all.
[Verse]
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 it's head on summer's freckled knees.
[Chorus]
Em D C
And nobody, nobody knows.
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 Em D 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 it's hiding.
Am D
Return this quiet certitude to the soil
[Verse]
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 bare your neighbors 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 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 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.
Em D G
To all, to all, to all...
