The Four Seasons Irish song lyrics and chords 

By The Wolfe Tones. The guitar tab. was kindly sent to me by  Alba and from the album The Rifles Of The I.R.A.

C                                                  G                 C 
Oh the four seasons come, and the four seasons go 
       F                                 C     Am
In a cycle that spins our life away
      F                                     C                Am 
The new year it is here and the old one has gone
      C                   G              C
For time it doesn't stop for anyone 
C                                           G                     C
For three months of the year is a season of the spring 
          F                            C      Am
When all the birds begin to sing
F                                                 C                             Am 
Everything's bright and new, spring lambs, trees budding too
     C               G                         C
It's like onto ourselves when just a child
And the four seasons come … 
                                 
Now the sun is on the sea and the wind is blowing free
The summertime is here in all its glory 
In these months of gay life our cares are all unknown 
It's like onto ourselves when we are young
And the four seasons come …
 
Soon the moon will hide its light from the heavens in the night 
Too fast these sunny days are fading 
But there's beauty to be seen in these autumn leaves once green 
And the lives, like these leaves, are decaying
And the four seasons …
 
Now stormy wind´s to blow with its frost and sleet and snow 
The harshness of wintertime is here 
And at this late stage man reaches his old age 
And the cycle meets its end where it began.
