Capo 3rd Fret
[Verse 1]
DWork, for the night is GcoDming,
DWork through the A7morning Dhours;
DWork while the dew is GsparkDling,
DWork ’mid A7springing Dflowers;
A7Work when the day grows brighter,
DWork in the E7glowing Asun;
DWork, for the night is GcoDming,
DWhen man’s A7work is Ddone.
[Verse 2]
DWork, for the night is GcoDming,
DWork through the A7sunny Dnoon;
DFill brightest hours with GlaDbor,
DRest comes A7sure and Dsoon.
A7Give every flying minute,
DSomething to E7keep in Astore;
DWork, for the night is GcoDming,
DWhen man A7works no Dmore.
[Verse 3]
DWork, for the night is GcoDming,
DUnder the A7sunset Dskies;
DWhile their bright tints are GglowDing,
DWork, for A7daylight Dflies.
A7Work till the last beam fadeth,
DFadeth to E7shine no Amore;
DWork, while the night is GdarkeDning,
DWhen man’s A7work is Do’er.
