As far as I can remember the chords and lyrics are something like:-
Chorus
To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
1) C G7 C A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
Chorus
2) A time to build up, a time to break down A time to dance, a time to mourn A time to cast away stones A time to gather stones together
Chorus
3) A time to love, a time to hate A time of war, a time of peace A time you may embrace A time to refrain from embracing
Chorus
4) A time to gain, a time to loose A time to rend, a time to sew A time to love, a time to hate A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
Chorus
I think I originally got the chords from the Pete Seeger version so they might not be quite right for The Byrds - especially the last line of the verse. The timing for each verse has to be adjusted to fit the lyrics but this should give you some idea - hopefully

NOTE: A slight change from the previous posting- I changed a few chords and changed some words to make it more in line with the Byrds version. (from Turn! Turn! Turn!, 1966)
