I'll sing you this October song, oh there is [C#] no song before [D#m] it.
my own, for my joys and sorrows bore it.
Beside the sea, [E] though [F#] of rambly briars in the still of evening,
birds fly out behind the sun and with them I'll be leaving.

_ _ _ _ _ _ I'll sing you this October song, oh there is [C#] no song before [D#m] _ _ it.
The words and tune are none of my own, for my joys and sorrows bore it. _

_ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[C#] fallen _ _ _ leaves [F#] that jewel the ground, they know the art of dying,
_ _ and leave with joy their glad gold hearts in the scarlet shadows lying.
When hunger _ calls _ my footsteps home, the morning follows after. _ _
I swim [B] the seas within [F#] my mind, and the pine trees laugh green laughter.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I used to search for happiness, and I used to follow pleasure.
_ _ But I found a door behind my mind, and that's the greatest treasure.
For rulers like _
_ [C#m] _ to [G] lay [F#] down laws, and rebels like to break them.
_ And the poor priests like to walk in chains, and God likes to forsake them.

_ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I met [B] a man _ _ _ _ [D#m] whose name [F#] was Time, and he said I must be going.
_ _ But just how long ago that was, [C#] I have no [F#] way of knowing. _
Sometimes I [C#m] want _ _ [F#] to murder Time, sometimes [C#] when my heart's [F#] aching. _
_ But mostly I just stroll along the path that he is taking. _ _ _
