^GFall turned to winter another ^Cadd9year gone ^GOver and over aga^Din ^Dsus4 ^D ^GSome took their lives from their^Cadd9 land and moved on ^GAnd some stayed on to plow it back ^Din ^Dsus4 ^D ^CAnd the good Lord he giveth and he t^Gaketh away ^Cadd9And the restless shall go and the fai^Gthful shall ^Dstay
