Subject: Re: REQ: The Byrds "Turn, turn, turn"
As far as I can remember the chords and lyrics are something like:-
Chorus
C F C Dm
To everything, turn, turn, turn
Am C F C G
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
F C Em Dm G7 C
And a time for every purpose under heaven
1)
C G7 C A time to be born, a time to die
G7 C
A time to plant, a time to reap
G7 C
A time to kill, a time to heal
F G7 C
A time to laugh, a time to weep
Chorus
2)
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
Chorus
3)
A time to love, a time to hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing
Chorus
4)
A time to gain, a time to loose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
Chorus

I think I originally got the chords from the Pete Seeger version so they
might not be quite right for The Byrds - especially the last line of the
verse. The timing for each verse has to be adjusted to fit the lyrics but
this should give you some idea - hopefully

NOTE: A slight change from the previous posting- I changed a few chords
and changed some words to make it more in line with the Byrds version.
