Intro: Am (I leave it to you to pick out the lead)
Am G
The summer sun is fading as the year grows cold
F Em F G
And darker days are drawing near
Em F G G
The winter winds will be much colder
Am
Now you're not here. (repeat intro)
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear.
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here.
F C Bb Am
Like a song through the trees you came to love me
F C Bb Am F7
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away... (repeat intro)
Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year.
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
Am G
'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here.
Am
'Cause you're not here.
Like a song through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn...
Am G
'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here.
Am
'Cause you're not here. (repeat and fade)
