Intro:


G C/G


Quatrain 1:

     G       C/G       G       C/G   G      C/G
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
      G      C/G       G        C/G      G     C/G
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
  G         C/G          G      C/G        G     C/G
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
       G      C/G          G        D          G       C/G
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

Quatrain 2:

   G       C/G         G       C/G     G      C/G
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
   G      C/G    G     C/G     G      C/G
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
      G      C/G      G       C/G       G      C/G
Which by and by black night doth take away,
         G     C/G         G       D        G       C/G
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.


Quatrain 3:

   C                  D                G
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
     Em      Am                      D
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
    C                D              G
As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
    Em         Am                         D   D/C    D/B   D/A
Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.


Couplet:

      G      C/G            G        C/G          G      C/G
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
    G        C/G        G        D           G       C/G    G
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
