[Verse 1]
Am      G
Listen, listen
C            Am
Remember the wane
C        Em       Am
Of sun’s fury and waving grain
Am          G
We fell and fell
    C      Am
And danced along
C          Em
To croon a knell
   Am
Of rights and wrongs
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am         G
My son, my son
C            Am
Remember the burn
     C           Em       Am
When leaves were fire and seasons turned
Am          G
We fell and fell
    C      Am
And sang a song
   C       Em
To weave a cell
    Am
All autumn long
 
[Chorus]
    Am          G
And down in the vale
         C      Am         C  Em  Am
Hear the reaper swing, the reaper swing
    C  Em  Am
the reaper swing
Am          G
Down in the vale
         C      Am
Hear the reaper sing
  C       Em     Am
A tale of winter long
 
 
[Verse 3]
   Am       G
My girl, my girl
C            Am
Remember the chill
     C     Em        Am
When rains froze and snows did kill
   Am       G
We fell and fell
    C      Am
And danced along
        C   Em
Through icy hell
         Am
To their winter song
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
   Am       G
My love, my love
C            Am
Remember the cries
     C      Em       Am
When winter died for spring skies
     Am         G
They roared and roared
       C           Am
But we grabbed our seed
    C       Em
And sowed a song
 Am
Against their greed
 
 
[Verse 5]
   Am      G
My son, my son
C            Am
Remember the chains
     C    Em         Am
When gold ruled with iron reins
   Am         G
We roared and roared
    C           Am
And twisted and screamed
    C       Em
For ours, a vale
   Am
of better dreams
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am          G
And down in the vale
         C      Am         C  Em  Am
Hear the reaper swing, the reaper swing
    C  Em  Am
the reaper swing
Am          G
Down in the vale
         C      Am
Hear the reaper sing
  C       Em     Am
A tale of winter done.
