(A minor) You lay on the hay rake and

Foreman's (F major) in the (G major) granary

(A minor) Over the next valley where
the land is all wild
And the (F major) hillside's all berries (G major) and

Gonna plow a pasture
where no one will go
And I'll wait (F major) for the reapers (G major) to mow

(A minor) I heard of a mansion on top of a hill
Where a (F major) lordling lives splendid, (G major)

'Til he (F major) waits for the (G major) reapers to mow

a land overseas
Where the (F major) people sit (G major) idle

Is that (F major) wait for the reapers (G major) to mow
