Intro: FF Fm7Fm7 FdimFdim C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm Am/GAm/G D MajorD Dm7Dm7 G7G7 C majorC FdimFdim C majorC

  FdimFdim         C majorC      A minorAm          C majorC
When I was a young man acourtin' the girls
  FdimFdim
I played me a waitin' game
   FdimFdim           C majorC      A minorAm
If a maid refused me with a toss of her curls
 FF      G+G       C majorC    A minorAm
I'd let the ol' world take a couple of twirls
     FF           C majorC    A minorAm
And I'd ply her with tears instead of pearls
    FdimFdim          C majorC   A minorAm
And as time came around she came my way
  FdimFdim        G+G   G7G7
As time came around, she came

Melody

      FF        Fm7Fm7  FdimFdim   C majorC   C/BC/B  A minorAm
But it's a long, long time,  from May to December
    Am/GAm/G    D7D7  Dm7Dm7     G7G7    C majorC    FdimFdim   C majorC
And the days grow short,  when you reach September
         FF   F minorFm      FdimFdim    C majorC   C/BC/B  A minorAm
When the autumn weather,  turns the leaves to flame
  Am/GAm/G    D MajorD  Dm7Dm7     G7G7    C majorC   FdimFdim C majorC
One hasn't got time,  for the waiting game
     FF           Fm7/13      Fm7Fm7       Dm7Dm7   FdimFdim   G+G
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few. September, November
   G7G7    FF      Fm7Fm7   FdimFdim    C majorC  C/BC/B  A minorAm
And these few precious days,  I'll spend with you
     Am/GAm/G  D MajorD     Dm7Dm7 FdimFdim  C majorC
These precious days I'll spend with you
Interlude: FF Fm7/9 Fm7Fm7

   G7G7     FF      Fm7Fm7  FdimFdim    C majorC  C/BC/B  A minorAm      A/GA/G   D MajorD
And these few precious days  I'll spend with you,  these precious days
   Dm7Dm7 Dm5-/7  C majorC FF FdimFdim Dm5-/7 C majorC
I'll spend with you
