* note – these chords are extremely easy as is the overall song . the difficulty is
in the finger picking .

the harvester
brandon heath

[ verse 1 ]
G
up with the dawn and the rooster crow
C
been that way since i don’t know
Am
throw a little water on my face
C G
get out the door and greet the day

[ verse 2 ]
put my knees down on the ground
sing to the lord in a weary sound
ask him for the strength i need
break my heart like a weed

D

C G
for all that we’ve grown , how could we forget
D C
those who don’t know , or just don’t know yet
C G
let’s harvest this field , from sunrise to sunset
D C
the master is coming , we are not done yet
Em C ( Am C G D )
we are not done yet yet ( yet )

bring out the sickle , bring out the pail
bushel full of wire , and a fork to the bale
work through the pain in the rain or shine
c’mon y’all we still got time
we still got time

[ chorus ]

Em
the turning of the season
C
is upon us , my friends
D
now’s the time
D
all that was sown
C
is there for the reaping

[ chorus ]
