Capo 5
Verse 1
[Am] [G]
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
[F] [C] [Dm] [C] [G]
And darker days are drawing near
[F] [G]
The winter winds will be much colder
[Am]
Now you're not here. (repeat intro)
Verse 2
[Am] [G]
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
[F] [C] [Dm] [C] [G]
And one by one they disappear.
[F] [G]
I wish that I was flying with them
[Am]
Now you're not here.
Chorus
[F] [C] [Bb] [Am]
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
[F] [C] [Bb] [Am] [Bbmaj7]
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away... (repeat intro)
Verse 3
[Am] [G]
Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
[F] [C] [Dm] [C] [G]
You always loved this time of year.
[F] [G]
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
[Am] [G]
'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here.
[Am]
'Cause you're not here.
Chorus
[F] [C] [Bb] [Am]
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
[F] [C] [Bb] [Am] [Bbmaj7]
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away... (repeat intro)
Verse 4
[Am] [G]
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
[F] [C] [Dm] [C] [G]
As if to hide a lonely tear
[F] [G]
My life will be forever autumn...
Outro
[Am] [G]
'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here.
[Am]
'Cause you're not here. (repeat and fade)
