[Verse 1]
          G                               C                 G
I've been blessed with many lovers and I'd grant the same to you
            G                               D
Though I suppose I'd skip a broken heart or two
     G                               C           G
I confess that I am troubled by that pious vocal few
          G                  C               D
When they cross the line and tell us what to do
       Em                   D                  G                   D
Ah but life's too short for all this worry - I offer myself to you whole
Em                  C             G                       D
Life's too long for lies to carry any more weight in this world


[Chorus]
       C    G     C          G
And it harm none, do what you will
       C          G         D
As the circle has bound us, bound we are still
           C         G              C          Em
Though the bottle be empty, may the cup remain filled...
       C          D          G
And it harm none, do what you will


[Verse 2]
       G                                C             G
I will call the four directions, I will cast a circle here
       G                         D
I will put my feet upon the holy ground
       G                             C                G
In the shadow there reflected I will find and face my fear
       C                 C              D
And we all know there is fear a'plenty 'round
       Em                   D                  G                   D
Ah but life's too short for all this worry - I offer myself to you whole
Em                  C             G                       D
Life's too long for lies to carry any more weight in this world


[Chorus]
       C    G     C          G
And it harm none, do what ye will
       C          G         D
As the circle has bound us, bound we are still
           C         G              C          Em
Though the bottle be empty, may the cup remain filled...
       C          D          G
And it harm none, do what ye will


[Verse 3]
      G                             C                G
Every act of love and pleasure is a prayer along the way
          G                                  D
With everything between the living Earth and Sky
          G                                   C                G
When it's all of life we treasure through the endless spinning days
       G                C              D
In our actions you will know us by and by
       Em                   D                  G                   D
Ah but life's too short for all this worry - I offer myself to you whole
Em                  C             G                       D
Life's too long for lies to carry any more weight in this world


[Chorus]
       C    G     C          G
And it harm none, do what you will
       C          G         D
As the circle has bound us, bound we are still
           C         G              C          Em
Though the bottle be empty, may the cup remain filled...
       C          D          G
And it harm none, do what you will

And it harm none, do what you will

       C    G     C          G
And it harm none, do what ye will
       C          G         D
As the circle has bound us, bound we are still
           C         G              C          Em
Though the bottle be empty, may the cup remain filled...
       C          D          G
And it harm none, do what you will

And it harm none, do what you will
