** I have added the solos to this song.  They should be quite 
** accurate to what is on the record.  I need someone to add

(Someone suggested playing the A open in the 3rd riff which is OK but 
I checked the actual sheet music and the C 3rd fret is written 
in the sheet music as the guitar and bass parts) 
 
 
Key of C 
 
 
   Am       G        F       G

Let the open 'G' ring out each time 
 
 
1st verse : 
 
Am  G      F     G    Am    G     F   G 
All    our times have come. ( music ) 
 
Am  G      F     G        Am    G     F   G 
Here   but now   they're  gone. ( music ) 
 
 
F             G            Am 
Seasons don't fear the reaper   nor 
 
 
       F          E               Am   
do the wind,  the sun or the rain.     We 
 
 
    G           F       G         Am 
can be like they are.   Come on baby.  Don't 
 
Fear the Reaper...
