Overheard at Table 4: Under the Sun

Under the Sun
Eccelsiastes 1:3-11

[Tempo slow – NOT lugubrious, but subdued]

Verso 1
Am7                         D
There’s nothing new under the sun
Am7                          D
What’s there to do has all been done
Am7                             D
And all your working through this life
Am7                           D
Will never truly satisfy

Coro
       Am7         Em    G    D    
The sun also rises the sun also sets
               Am7    Em    G    
And the world never forgets
           Am7     Em                          G         D    
What happens tomorrow happened yesterday
        Am7    Em    G    
The same as it goes on today

Verso 2
Am7                             D
The wind blows south and to the north
Am7                             D
Around and around and back and forth
Am7            D
All the streams flow to the sea
Am7                D
And return eventually

Coro

Puente [tempo slight increase – breezy]
G                     D            Am            C
Generations come and generations go and the Earth just keeps on spinnin’
G                     D            Am            C
Generations come and generations go and the Earth just keeps on spinnin’
G               D               Am            C
Around and around and around and around and around and around and around and a
G
-round
