INTRO: G+G D MajorD G+G

            D MajorD G+G
When fall comes to New England
  C majorC     G+G   D MajorD
The sun slants in so fine
    C majorC    G+G       D MajorD   E minorEm
And the air’s so clear you can almost hear
  C majorC   ~  A minorAm   D MajorD
The grapes grow on the vine


  G+G           D MajorD  G+G
The nights are sharp with starlight
    C majorC    G+G    D MajorD    C majorC
And the days are cool and clean
      G+G    D MajorD  G+G   C majorC
And in the blue sky overhead
       G+G     D MajorD    G+G    C majorC
The northern geese fly south instead
        G+G   D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
And leaves are Irish Setter red
   C majorC     G+G   D MajorD G+G   D MajorD G+G
When fall comes to New England

            D MajorD G+G
When fall comes to New England
    C majorC     G+G    D MajorD  C majorC
And the wind blows off the sea
     G+G    D MajorD    E minorEm
Swallows fly in a perfect sky
    C majorC   ~  A minorAm    D MajorD
And the world was meant to be


     G+G        D MajorD  G+G
When the acorns line the walkways
   C majorC   G+G    D MajorD  C majorC
Then winter can’t be far
      G+G    D MajorD    G+G   C majorC
From yellow leaves a blue jay calls
       G+G    D MajorD    G+G    C majorC
Grandmothers walk out in their shawls
       G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
And chipmunks run the old stone walls
   C majorC     G+G   D MajorD G+G   D MajorD G+G
When fall comes to New England

BRIDGE:
  C majorC    ~   A minorAm
The frost is on the pumpkin
  E minorEm    D MajorD    G+G
The squash is off the vine
  C majorC   ~    A minorAm       D MajorD
And winter warnings race across the sky
  C majorC       ~  A minorAm
The squirrels are onto something
      E minorEm   D MajorD  G+G
And they’re working overtime
  C majorC   ~     A minorAm       D MajorD
The foxes blink and stare and so do I


      G+G         D MajorD G+G
’Cause when fall comes to New England
  C majorC    G+G   D MajorD   C majorC
Oh, I can’t turn away
      G+G    D MajorD   G+G   C majorC
From fading light on flying wings
       G+G   D MajorD   G+G    C majorC
And late goodbyes a robin sings
      G+G   D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
And then another thousand things
   C majorC     G+G   D/F#D/F# E minorEm
When fall comes to New Eng--land
   C majorC     G+G   D MajorD G+G
