GAgainst all the soCngs you can sDing,

And the nGext day you'll lAose,
And wiAmnter will Cturn into Emspring.

And the snGow faDlls, the wiAmnd caDlls,
The yGear turns roDund agCain.D  
And lEmike BarleycoCrn who rGose from the grAave,
A new Amyear will rCise up agEmain.

And there wiEmll come a tiDme of great plAenty,
A tCime of good harGvest and sDun.
Till tEmhen put your trCust in tomGorrow, my frAiend,
For yeAmsterday's oCver and dEmone.

PloughGed, soDwn, reAmaped, and mDown:
The yGear turns roDund agCain.D  
And lEmike BarleyCcorn who rGose from the grAave
A nAmew year will rCise up aEmgain.

PhoeGbe ariDse, a gleAmam in her eDyes,
And the yeGar turns roDund agCain.D  
And lEmike BarleycCorn who roGse from the grAave,
A nAmew year will riCse up agEmain.

[Verse]

Em D

I'll wager a hat full of guineas

G C D

Against all the songs you can sing,

Em D

That some day you'll love,

G A

And the next day you'll lose,

Am C Em

And winter will turn into spring.

[Verse]

G D Am D

And the snow falls, the wind calls,

G D C D

The year turns round again.

Em C G A

And like Barleycorn who rose from the grave,

Am C Em

A new year will rise up again.

[Verse]

Em D A

And there will come a time of great plenty,

C G D

A time of good harvest and sun.

Em C G A

Till then put your trust in tomorrow, my friend,

Am C Em

For yesterday's over and done.

[Verse]

G D Am D

Ploughed, sown, reaped, and mown:

G D C D

The year turns round again.

Em C G A

And like Barleycorn who rose from the grave

Am C Em

A new year will rise up again.

[Verse]

G D Am D

Phoebe arise, a gleam in her eyes,

G D C D

And the year turns round again.

Em C G A

And like Barleycorn who rose from the grave,

Am C Em

A new year will rise up again.
