Capo 1 
      E                            E                            
'Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be. 
    A                                                             
And when we find ourselves in the place just right. 
          D                             A 
It will be in the valley of love and delight. 

           A 
When true simplicity is gained, 
                    E 
To bow and to bend, we will not be ashamed. 
A                  A 
To turn, turn will be our delight, 
           E               A 
Till by turning, turning we come round right.
