I was not able to find a decent chart for the full weather report suite so I went ahead and arranged
this. I arranged the prelude from scratch and edited jdarks.com for part 1and rukind.com for Let It
Grow.

Intro: Am7
AmMorning comes, she follows the path to the river sBdim7hore
AmLightly sung, her song is the latch on the morningâ?Bdim7?s door
AmSee the sun, Csparkle in the reeds
AmSilver beads,C pass to the sea Bm D
DShe comes from a town where they call her the wood cutterâ?A7?s daughter
Sheâs brown as the bank where she kneels down to gatherD her water
She bears it away with a love that the river has Bmtaught her
AmLet it flow, let it flow, Cwide and clear Em/F#

Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed fields
Seasonâs round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal
Broken ground, open and beckoning
To the spring, black dirt live again
The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing
As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing
That the work of his days measures more than the planting and growing
Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield
Em/F#What shall we Bsay, shall we Gcall it by a Em/F#name
As Cwell to count the Gangels Bm7dancing on a pin
Em/F#Water Bbright as the Gsky from which it Em/F#came
And the Dname is on the earth that takes it Ain
We Cwill not speak, but Gstand inside the Em/F#rain
And Clisten Gto the Dthunder Emshout, &Amquot;I am, IC am, IEm/F# am, I am"
Jam on verse pattern
So it goes, we make what we made since the world began
Nothing more, the love of the women, work of man
Seasons round, creatures great and small
Up and down, as we rise and fall

Jam on Am7
Jam on Em7
