Turn, Turn, Turn (To Everything There Is A Season)

Here is how I play The Byrds' 1965 number one hit Turn, Turn, Turn (To Everything There Is A Season). Pete Seeger adopted the lyrics from chapter three of the Book of Ecclesiastes. I play the song in a moderate folk-rock tempo (120) in the original key of D. Notice that I make use of inversions to create descending diatonic bass lines. The chord fingerings I use (in a Standard tuning) are as follows: D/A = x00232; D = xx0232; G = 3x0003; F#m = 244222; A/E = 002220; A = x02220; Em = 022000; Dsus4 = xx0233; and Dsus2 = xx0230.
