375. Work, for the Night Is Coming

Ab                    Db  Ab                    Fm   Eb  Ab
Work for the night is com-ing, Work through the morn-ing hours;

Ab                 Ab7 Db    Ab          Db  Ab     Eb7 Ab
Work while the dew is  spark-ling; Work ‘mid spring-ing flow’rs.

Eb            Bbm F7    Bbm    Eb  Ab          Fm   Bb7 Eb
Work when the day grows bright-er, Work in the glow-ing sun;

Ab                 Ab7 Db  Ab        Db    Ab   Eb7 Ab
Work for the night is  com-ing, When man’s work is  done.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Work for the night is coming,
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling;
Work ‘mid springing flow’rs.
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work for the night is coming,
When man’s work is done.

[Verse 2]
Work for the night is coming,
Work thro’ the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work for the night is coming,
When man works no more.

[Verse 3]
Work for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies,
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work for daylight flies;
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is dark’ning,
When man’s work is o’er.
