September Song

(intro) F Fm7 Fdim C C/B Am 

Am/G D Dm7 G7 C Fdim C

    Fdim                  C       
When I was a young man acourtin' 
     Am                      Fdim 
the girls, I played me a waitin'  
     C
game;
     Fdim                     C   
If a maid refused me with a toss 
        Am                    F   
of her curls, I'd let the ol' 
        G             C   Am
world take a couple of twirls,
         F                      C 
And I'd ply her with tears  
       Am                          
instead of pearls, and as time came
  Fdim            C Am
 around she came my way,
   Fdim                G     G7
As time came around, she came.

            F               Fm7    
But it's a long, long time    from 
Fdim      C     C/B   Am
May to December,

And the days grow short    when 
    G7       C       Fdim     C
you reach September;
                 F     Fm         
When the autumn weather   turns 
  Fdim       C     C/B   Am
the leaves to flame,
    Am/G        D   Dm7     
One hasn't got time    for the 
    G7       C     Fdim    C
waiting game.
         F                    
Oh, the days dwindle down to a 
  Fm7/13           Fm7            
precious few. September   November
  Dm7 Fdim G

     G7        F            Fm7  
And these few precious days    
   Fdim       C    C/B   Am
I'll spend with you,
         Am/G    D         Dm7  
These precious days I'll spend  
Fdim   C
with  you.

Oh, the days dwindle down to a

precious few. September   November

(verso 2)
         Fdim                      
When you meet with the young men in
    C      Am
 the early Spring
        Fdim                       
They'll court you with wine and 
   C                            
with song, they'll woo you with  
    Fdim               C Am
words  and a clover ring
    F        G          C        
But if you examine the goods that
       Am                       
 they bring, They have little to 
          F       Fdim            
offer but the songs that they sing
  C Am

      Fdim                 C      
And a plentiful  waste of time of 
Am            Fdim              
day. A plentiful  waste of time
G   G7
