Turn, Turn, Turn<br />

Chorus:<br />

To everything -turn, turn, turn<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a season -turn, turn, turn<br />

And a time for ev'ry purpose under heaven<br />

A time to be born, a time to die<br />

A time to plant, a time to reap<br />

A time to kill, a time to heal<br />

A time to laugh, a time to weep<br />

G-C-/G-C-/G-C-/FGC-<br />

A time to build up, a time to break down<br />

A time to dance, a time to mourn<br />

A time to cast away stones<br />

A time to gather stones together (Very druidic, eh?)<br />

A time <strong>of</strong> war, a time <strong>of</strong> peace<br />

A time <strong>of</strong> love, a time <strong>of</strong> hate<br />

A time you may embrace<br />

A time to refrain from embracing<br />

A time to gain, a time to lose<br />

A time to rend, a time to sew<br />

A time to love, a time to hate<br />

A time <strong>of</strong> peace: I swear it's not too late!<br />

-W: <strong>Book</strong> <strong>of</strong> Ecclesiastes (adap. by Pete Seeger)<br />

<strong>The</strong> Brandy Tree<br />

I go down to the Brandy Tree<br />

And take my nose and tail with me<br />

All for the world and the wind to see<br />

And never come back no more<br />

(capo up) Am Em/EmAm Em/ Dm Em/ FG Am<br />

Down by the meadow marsh, deep and wide<br />

Tumble and Tangle by my side<br />

All for the westing wind to run<br />

And slide in the summer rain<br />

Sun come follow my happy way<br />

Wind come walk beside me<br />

Moon on the mountain, go with me<br />

A wondrous way I know<br />

C G/ C G/ Am Em/ FG Am<br />

I go down to the windy sea<br />

And the little gray seal will play with me<br />

Slide on the rock and dive in the bay<br />

And sleep on the ledge at night<br />

But the seal don't try to tell me how<br />

To fish in the windy blue<br />

Seal's been fishing for a thousand years<br />

And he knows that I have too<br />

When the frog goes down to the mud to sleep<br />

And the lamprey hides in the boulders deep<br />

I take my nose and tail and go<br />

A hundred thousand hills<br />

Sun come follow my happy way<br />

Wind come walk beside me<br />

Moon on the mountain, go with me<br />

A wondrous way I know<br />

343<br />

Someday down by the Brandy Tree<br />

I'll hear the Shepherd call for me<br />

Call me to leave my happy ways<br />

And the shining world I know<br />

Sun on the hill, come go with me<br />

My days have all been free<br />

<strong>The</strong> pipes come dancing down the wind<br />

And that's the way I go<br />

That's the way for me<br />

-Gordon Bok<br />

by Louis Armstrong<br />

I see trees <strong>of</strong> green,<br />

Red roses too.<br />

I seem them bloom<br />

For me and you<br />

I think to myself,<br />

What a wonderful world.<br />

I see skies <strong>of</strong> blue,<br />

And clouds <strong>of</strong> white,<br />

<strong>The</strong> bright blessed day,<br />

<strong>The</strong> dark sacred night.<br />

And I think to myself,<br />

What a wonderful world.<br />

Bridge:<br />

<strong>The</strong> colors <strong>of</strong> the rainbow<br />

So pretty in the sky<br />

Are also on the faces<br />

<strong>Of</strong> people going by.<br />

I see friends shaking hands<br />

Saying “How do you do?”<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’re really saying<br />

“I love you.”<br />

I hear babies crying,<br />

I watch them grow.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’ll learn much more<br />

<strong>The</strong>n I’ll ever know.<br />

And I think to myself,<br />

What a wonderful world.<br />

What a Wonderful World<br />

Lord <strong>of</strong> the Dance<br />

I danced in the morning when the world was begun<br />

And I danced in the moon & the stars & the sun<br />

And I came down from heaven & I danced on the earth<br />

At Bethlehem I had my birth<br />

Chorus:<br />

Dance, dance wherever you may be<br />

I am the Lord <strong>of</strong> the Dance said he<br />

And I'll lead you all wherever you may be<br />

And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he<br />
