[Intro] D MajorD
[Verse 1]
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
When the marigold no longer blooms,
C majorC G+G
When summer sun is turned to gloom,
D MajorD
See the forecast winter snow,
C majorC A augmentedA
See the evergreen that lonely grows.
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Move close to the fireplace,
C majorC
Neglect the garden,
A augmentedA
See the ground harden,
E7E7
At a ghostly place.
[Verse 2]
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
The golden summer sun is silver now,
C majorC G+G
The fruit has fallen from the bough,
D MajorD
The season moves to chestnut time,
C majorC A augmentedA
Toffee apples, treacle, and mulled wine.
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Quilts and furs and woolens gay,
C majorC
You wrap around you,
A augmentedA
But the cold confounds you,
E7E7
On an autumn day.

[Verse 3]
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Stout and strong the walls of home and hearth,

The curtains drawn against the draft,
D MajorD
The rake has reaped, the blade has mown,
C majorC A augmentedA
Nights draw in to call the harvest home.
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
The quiet of a heart at rest,
C majorC
In peace abounded,
A augmentedA
By love surrounded,
E7E7
Here the home is blest.
