A5   G *     F6/9   G *  A5   G *  F6/9   G *
All----- our times have come,
A5   G *     F6/9   G *  A5   G  * F6/9   G *
Here---- but now they're gone,
   F           G         Am
Seasons don't fear The Reaper,
            F         E          Am
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain!

Baby, take my hand, (Don't fear The Reaper!)
          G *    A5           G *      F6/9
We'll be able to fly, (Don't fear The Reaper!)
       G *     A5    G *   F6/9    G *
Baby, I'm your man---------------------!

 A5   G *    F6/9 G *  A5   G *   F6/9   G *
Love----- of two  is  one,
 A5   G *     F6/9   G *    A5   G *  F6/9   G *
Here-----, but now they're gone,
  F             G        Am
Came her last night of sadness,
             F         G         Am    G
And it was clear she couldn't go on,
           F       G             Am            G
Then the door was open, and the wind appeared,
       F     G                 Am        G
The candles blew, and then disappeared,
       F      G             Am          G            F
The curtains flew, and then he appeared!
                              (Saying don't be a - fraid!)


[Chorus]
  G      Am              G      F
Come on, baby, (And she had no fear!)
G          Am                       G         F
   And she ran to him, (Then they started to fly!)
              G            Am
They looked backwards and said goodbye,
               G         F
(She had be - come like they are!)
          G        Am                  G         F
She had taken his hand, (She had be - come like they are!)
  G       Am           G         F     G
Come on, baby! (Don't fear the reaper!)

   Am    G       F     G       Am    G       F     G
