{c: }
In [G] days gone [D7] by, when the [C] world was much [G] younger
Men harnessed the [D7] wind to [C] work for man[G]kind
Seamen built [D7] ships to [C] sail on the [G] ocean
Landsmen built [D7] windmills the [C] corn for to [G] grind
{c: }
It’s a[G] round and a[D7]round and a[C]round went the [G] big sail
Turning the [D7] shaft and the [C] great wooden [G] wheel
Creaking and [D7] groaning, the [C] millstones kept [G] turning
Grinding to [D7] flour the good [C] corn from the [G] field
{c: }
In [G] Flanders and [D7] Spain and the [C] lowlands of [G] Holland
And the kingdoms of [D7] England and [C] Scotland and [G] Wales
Windmills sprang [D7] up all a[C]long the wild [G] coastline
Ships of the [D7] land with their [C] high canvas [G] sails
{c: }
It’s a[G] round and a[D7]round and a[C]round went the [G] big sail
Turning the [D7] shaft and the [C] great wooden [G] wheel
Creaking and [D7] groaning, the [C] millstones kept [G] turning
Grinding to [D7] flour the good [C] corn from the [G] field
{c: }
In [G] Lancashire, [D7] lads work [C] hard at the [G] good earth
Ploughing and [D7] sowing as the[C] seasons de[G]clare
Waiting to [D7] reap all the [C] rich, golden [G] harvest
While the [D7] miller is idle, his [C] mill to re[G]pair
{c: }
It’s a[G] round and a[D7]round and a[C]round went the [G] big sail
Turning the [D7] shaft and the [C] great wooden [G] wheel
Creaking and [D7] groaning, the [C] millstones kept [G] turning
Grinding to [D7] flour the good [C] corn from the [G] field
{c: }
[G] Windmills of [D7] wood all [C] blackened by [G] weather
[G] Windmills of [D7] stone, glaring [C] white in the [G] sun
[G] Windmills like [D7] giants all [C] ready for [G] tilting
[G] Windmills that [D7] died in the [C] gales and the [G] sun
{c: }
It’s a[G] round and a[D7]round and a[C]round went the [G] big sail
Turning the [D7] shaft and the [C] great wooden [G] wheel
Creaking and [D7] groaning, the [C] millstones kept [G] turning
Grinding to [D7] flour the good [C] corn from the [G] field
