This Autumn

D            D6         Dm7     
Old Father time checked, so 
      Dm6
there'd be no doubt;
Amaj7          F#m       C#m7/5-
Called on the North wind   to  
        F#7
come on out,
  A              E         D9    
Then cupped his hands so proudly 
    B7
to shout,
 D9             E7              
"La-di-dah  di-dah-di-dum, 'tis 
D9         A
autumn!"


  D               D6            
Trees say they're tired, they've
Dm7             Dm6
 born too much fruit;
Amaj7          F#m     C#m7/5-  
Charmed on the wayside, there's 
       F#7
no dispute.
A              E          D9    
Now shedding leaves, they don't 
       B7
give a hoot --

D9             E7              
La-di-dah  di-dah-di-dum, 'tis 
D9         A
autumn!


(Bridge:)
         Em7           A7      
Then the birds got together to 
G/B               A7
chirp about the weather
D alt  G/B   A7     D6
Mmmm - mmm - mmm - mmm.
      F#m7           B7       
After makin' their decision, in 
   F#m7          B7
birdie-like precision,
E7       Fm              B7     
Turned about, and made a beeline
         E7
 to the south.


    D           D6         Dm7    
My holding you close really is no 
 Dm6
crime --
        Amaj7         F#m     
Ask the birds and the trees 
C#m7/5-       F#7
and old Father Time.
      A       E        D9      B7
It's just to help the mercury climb.
D9             E7              
La-di-dah  di-dah-di-dum, 'tis 
D9         A
autumn.
