[Verse 1]

G        Am         G      CmBoys and girls will see in time
     G         Am        G         AmThat they were wrong to go
G           Am      G          CmFires don't burn at home, like they
        G           AmUsed to burn, those nights
        GGrew so long

[Chorus]
           CThe scattering

(all the children say)
             GWill come again

(it's taken them away)
              CNo seeds to fall

(all the children say)
             GNo sons to blame
           D             GAs one by one they left home

[Verse 2]
           AmTired old men
     G        CmSpin tales of when
  G         AmA man could work
             G                 AmAnd hold his    head up high
G                AmGhosts roam this town
     G                                   CmWith pockets full of rye they'd all fall down
    G          Am           GBut soon their jars all ran dry

[Chorus]
           CThe scattering

(all the children say)
             GWill come again

(it's taken them away)
              CNo seeds to fall

(all the children say)
             GNo sons to blame
            D            GAs one by one they left home

[Break]

G   Am   G   C   G   Am   G

[Chorus]
           CThe scattering

(all the children say)
           GHas come again

(it's taken them away)
             CNo seeds to fall

(all the children say)
            GLike better days
           CThe scattering

(all the children say)
           GHas come again

(it's taken them away)
                   CBut if skies could fall

(all the children say)
              GWith harvest rain
            DThen one by one...
              G      C   G   C  GThey'll come home
