Welcome to my Tuesday afternoon video series.
Each week I share a live performance from my Nights Tour with all of you.
[C]
What a lucky day it was for me when Jeff Wayne called me about recording the song Forever Autumn
as part of the War of the Worlds album.
Maybe it was a lucky day for both of us.
But I also ended up doing another song on the album called The Eve of the War
and both of these songs have taken me around the world really,
particularly Forever Autumn, in that I can go anywhere in the world and play this song
and people will know it.
And it's a privilege to have done the original version of Forever Autumn.

[Gm] [Am] [C]
[Bb]
Winter winds will be [C] much colder
[C] Now you're [Dm] not here
I watched the birds fly south [C] across the autumn sky
[Bb]
And one by [Gm] one [F] they [C]
disappeared
[Bb]
I wish that I was [C] lying with them
Now [Dm] you're not here
[Bb]
Like the [F] sun through the [Eb] trees you came [Dm] to love me
[Bb]
Like a [F] leaf on a [Eb] breeze you blew [Dm]
[C] away
[G] [Eb]
[Dm]
Through autumn's golden gown we [C] used to kick our way
You [Bb]
[Bb] were where each lovely [F] summer [C]
of year
[Bb]
Those fallen leaves lie [C]
undisturbed now
Cause you're [Dm] not here
Cause you're [C] not here
Cause [Dm] you're not here

Like the [Am] sun through the [Eb] trees you came [Dm] to love me
Like [Bb]
a [F] leaf on a [Eb] breeze you blew [C]
away
[Bb] [G] [Eb]
[Dm]
A gentle rain falls softly [C] on my weary eyes
[Bb]
As [F] if to [Gm] hide a lonely [C]
tear
[Bb] My life will be [C] forever autumn
Cause [Dm] you're not here
Cause you're not [C]
here
Cause you're [Dm] not here
Cause you're [C] not here
Cause you're [Dm] not here
