[Verse 1]
          Bm                       
From the dew soaked hedge creeps a 
  E               A
crawly catapillar
           E                    D 
When the dawn begins to crack, its
  E   A    E      A        E
 all part of my autumn almanac
 Bm                        E 
Breeze blows leaves of a musty 
                 A
colored yellow
       E                     D 
So I sweep them in my sack, yes, 
   E    A    E        A      E
yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac

F#                 B C#      F#
Friday evening people  get 
      B C#             F#
together, hiding from the weather
 D#m      D#m/D                
Tea and toasted buttered currant 
   F#
buns
           G#                 B
Can't compensate for lack of sun 
              A#
because the summer's all gone

              Bb      A
I live to be ninety-nine
                      Am  D7      
Cos all the people I meet seem to 
              A    A7
come from my street
                 B       C#       
And I can't get away, because it's
