October

A
                    Em          Am
Trick of the light, turn of the tide
             C           Em    
A rift in a valley, full moon in 
   Am
July
            C              D  
Red summer sun mourning, a cold 
        C
April sky
     Am      C          D        
That lonely October, so cruel    
    Am   C G Am Am C D
to deny

A                      Em         
A wish for a fountain lost in the 
Am
winds
              C        Em       
A kick from a new life about to 
Am
begin
                C           D     
A south facing island that floods 
       C
in the spring
Continues after the ad
     Am       C           D      
Will call to October new life,   
          Am  C G
it will bring
Em        Am  C G Em        Am 
It will bring,    it will 
  C G Em      Am    C D
bring,     it will bring

                     Em           
A drop in the ocean, short of the 
Am
line
          C              Em        
Cursing a feeling caught up by the 
Am
night
               C       D       
Repairing the ruin, reducing the 
   C
sting
     Am      C            D
That falling October will bring
Am            C        G        
Hope that is dreaming, love that
     Am
 is torn

              C           Em      
Dancing like dust in the eye of 
   Am
the storm
               C             Em   
Truth will be lost when the 
        Am
mocking bird dies
            C             D   
October returns with its cold   
           Em    Am
winter skies

                      Em           
Awe can't be touched, faith can be 
Am
blind
             C            Em      
Fooled by a past that the world 
      Am
left behind
          C               D       
Hidden in rocks that are lost to 
    C
the shore
    Am       C           D
Of silent October you choose to 
ignore
