To everyth [A] ing, [D] Turn, [A] turn, [E] turn,
There is a [A] season, [D] turn, [A] turn, [E] turn,
And a [D] time for every [E7] purpose under [A] heaven.

A time to be born, a time to die; E A
A time to plant, a time to reap; E A
A time to kill, a time to heal; E A
A time to laugh, a time to weep. D / E7 A

{c:Chorus.}

A time to build up, a time to break down; E A
A time to dance an time to mourn; E A
A time to cast away stones, E A
A time to gather stones together. D / E7 A

{c:Chorus.}

A time of love, a time of hate; E A
A time of war, a time of peace; E A
A time you may embrace, E A
A time to refrain from embracing. D / E7 A

{c:Chorus.}

A time to gain, a time to lose; E A
A time to rend a time to sew; E A
A time to love, a time to hate; E A
A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late. D / E7 A
