Chords with lyrics

Intro: A augmentedA

  A augmentedA               B minorBm
The summertime's escaping, and the carnival's away,
    A augmentedA             B minorBm
And the sunshine is awaiting for another sunny day.
C majorC    E MajorE       FF    G+G   A augmentedA
Breakers whisper to the shells upon the shore,
       G+G           A augmentedA
And hear the seagulls they cry for more.
       G+G         A augmentedA
And hear the gulls they cry for more.

A augmentedA                B minorBm
Good day to you sweet autumn, so gently you appear.
   A augmentedA             B minorBm
Why I never even realised those rustic times were near.
  C majorC    E MajorE       FF   G+G    A augmentedA
The moment's change from a dusty green to gold,
      G+G         A augmentedA
The summer fair she has grown old
      G+G         A augmentedA
The summer fair she has grown old

  A augmentedA                     B minorBm
And away in the blue of the skies and over the trees
    A augmentedA              B minorBm
How the carnival flies on the wings of a breeze.
    C majorC    E MajorE         FF    G+G   A augmentedA
You've had your time and now it's mine for me to go,
   G+G           A augmentedA
These colder days they move too slow.
   G+G          A augmentedA
These older days they move too slow.

    A augmentedA               B minorBm
So the summertime is leaving, and the carnival's away,
    A augmentedA                B minorBm
So the sunshine is relieving us of all our sunny days.
  C majorC    E MajorE       FF     G+G    A augmentedA
But I'll be waiting for to greet your fleeting calls,
       G+G       A augmentedA
So come back soon the carnival.
     G+G       A augmentedA
Come back soon the carnival.

B minorBm
