When I [F] was a young [F#m] man courting [D#] the girls, I [E] played me a waiting [F#m] _ game.
[D#] If a [F] maid refused [F#m] me with tossing curls, [G#m] I'd let the [E] old earth [Am] take a couple [F#m] of _ whirls,
while I plied her with tears [A] in lieu [D#] of pearls.
_ And as [Bm] time came [G#m] around, [A] she came my [F#m] way.
_ [Dm] As time came [E] around, she [E] [A] came. _
_ _ When [Bm] you meet [E] with the young [A] girls early in the spring, [C#] you court [E] them in song [A] and rhyme.
_ They [E] answer with [A] words and a [A#] clover ring, but [F#] if you could examine [F#m] the goods they bring,
_ [D] they have little to offer but the [A] songs they [F#m] _
sing.
_ And a [Bm] plentiful [E] _
waste of [A] time of [F#m] day. _
_ [Bm] A plentiful _ [E] _
waste of [A] _ _ time. _
_ _ _ _ Oh, _ _ _ _ it's a [D] _ _
long, long _ while _ _
[F] _ from _ May to _ [A]
December, _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] but the days grow [B] _ short _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ When [A] you reach _ September, _ _ _ _ _ when the [D] autumn [Am] weather _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [Am] _
turns _ [F] the leaves to [A] flame, _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
One hasn't got _ _ [A] _ _
[B] time _ [Bm] _ _ _ for the waiting [A] _ game. _ _ _
_ Oh, [Dm] the days dwindle down _ to [D#] a precious [D#m] few. _
_ _ _ _ [G] September, _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
_ November, [D#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ and _ these few [D] precious _ days _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] I'll _ [A] spend with you. _ _ _
