🎸 Verse 1:
    C              G            Dm               Am
The summmer it was long and the heat kept up for weeks
F             C                G             G
 I was nearly all dried up and you got itchy feet
  C                G             Dm            Am
I tried to keep us focused and I tried hard to mend
    F                C                G                    G
And then one night I just let go, you took your chance and fled
          Dm              Am                C                 G
And I was wishing you had stayed 'cause the heat was bound to end
         F                C      G              F   F
When the cooling winds of autumn blow out here again

Am C  G  F  x2

🎸 Verse 2:
    C             G        Dm               Am
The photos of yourself you left them on the shelf
F                  C                     G            G
 I know you didn't want them they're for me to think about
            C            G        Dm                Am
Could there be something else you might have left behind?
F                       C      G        G
 Something you might be needing at some time?
      Dm              Am                C             G
For I wish I could've held you a little longer than I did
         F                C          G               F   F
'Til the cooling winds of autumn had blown out here again

🎸 Bridge:
       G                               F              C
Well I see you in my dreams and you're doggin' all my days
          Am             G              F             C
With that look of sorrow on your face I couldn't take away
     G                         F               C
Well did someone hurt you when you were just a child?
       Am              G                     F             C
Well I swear if I ever found who did, they'd pay for their crime
      Dm                Am     C              G
There might have been a way to take our pain away
        F                C             G                 F   F
But the cooling winds of autumn didn't blow here on that day

🎸 Instrumental:
Am C  G  F  x4

🎸 Verse 3:
    C                G              Dm               Am
The weeks pass by so slowly and the months turn into years
F            C           G              G
 It'll still be from you that I long to hear
       C               G        Dm                   Am
When I think of how Versed I still can't work out why
   F                C                 G               G
We loved each other hard enough you'd think we'd be alright
     Dm               Am          C            G
Well have you found a place where quiet waters dwell?
           F                C      G                 F    F
And do the cooling winds of autumn blow out there as well?
