Chords for Justin Hayward Live 🡆 Forever Autumn 🡄 May 27 2014 - Houston, Tx

_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ So I had a phone call one day _ [Gb] _ in that big old house, you know, _ [C] Mitchell's Gallery in
[Ab] _
Parliament.
You could be in the lounge and somebody would walk across. _
_ _ _ _ But _ _ I had a phone
call one day there and it was an American record producer living in London, a guy called
Jack Wayne.
So he _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] said _
_ _ [G] _ to me, [Bm] he said, are you the guy who sold [N] me my wife's CD?
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ I [Ab] can't
remember what I was quite thinking.
He was in the positive.
[Gb] _ _ _ _ That wasn't [D] the end _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] the _
_ _ _ conversation.
[Ab] He took me around to demo it and the next day I was playing it in [Gb] a bar
and _ _ [G] _ _ [Eb] I really wasn't going to do it because [Gb] I didn't do other people's songs.
But it just
so happened that that day [D] there was a guy called Lee Moody Boo's record [E] shop.
[Ab]
We had
_ [Bm] _ _ _ this chain of record shops.
[Gb] _ _ _ [B] _ _ We used _ to follow [Gb] the Beatles into these big beats. _
_ [Bm] It must
have been a good idea.
[B] It was a lousy idea actually.
_ So there was a guy that [Gb] was making
a cup of tea in the kitchen and he came into the lounge _ _ and he [Ab] said, you ought to do that
song.
So I said, that guy's put a lot of work into that.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
So _ _ _ anyway I went down to the studio
called Ant Vision behind Oxford Street [G] and I met Jack and became [Gb] involved in this project
that he was doing that was a musical version of the H.G. Wells story of the War of the
[G] Worlds. _ _ _
_ And [Gb] we _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] had a great couple of days and then I heard nothing for about a year.
And then I had a phone call again from the promo [Ab] guy at CBS [Bm] and he said, you know that
thing [B] you did with Jeff Wayne and I said, yeah I [Gbm] know that.
And he said, it's in the
charts.
I said, _ [B] well we're in the charts.
_ I could be like 193, couldn't I? _
_ So he said,
well [Gb] it's 33 and if you do Top of the Pops this Thursday, the big pop show on English
TV, [N] it would be in the top 30 actually.
It would be [Gb] great for everybody.
So I [D] said, sure
I'll do Top [Gb] of the Pops for one of the pop songs and I'm so glad I got to sing this.
_ _ [D] _ [Gb] And I do. _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] The _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
summer sun is fading [C] as the year goes _ _ on
_ _ [Bb] _
And [Gm] darker [F] days are drawing [C] near
_ _ The _ _ [Bb] _ _
winter winds will be [C] much colder
_ _ Now you're [Dm] not here
_ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
watch the birds fly south [C] across the autumn sky
_ And _ [Bb] _ _
[F] while [Gm] I'm [F] away _ [C] disappearing
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] I wish that I _ [C] could be there
_ Now you're [Dm] not here
_ Like _ _ [Bb] _
[F] the sun through [Eb] the trees you came [Dm] to love me
_ _ Like [Bb] _
[F] the leaf on [Eb] a breeze you blew [Dm] _ [Am]
away
[Bb] _ [F] _ _ [C] _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] Through _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
autumns colder now we used [C] to get away
_ _ You _ [Bb] _ _
[Dm] [Gm] always loved me [F] somehow [C] in the _ _ _ _ end
_ [Bb] _
Just believe I _ [F] [C] understood _ now
_ Cause you're not [Dm] here
_ Cause _ you're [C] not _ here
_ Cause you're [Dm] not _ here _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] Like [Dm] the sun through the [Eb] trees you came to [Dm] love me
_ Like _ [Bb] _ [F] the leaf on a [Eb] breeze you blew [F] away
[Am] _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ A gentle rain falls softly [C] on my weary _ eyes
_ As _ [Bb] _ [F] the dew [Gm] hide [F] alone
_ [C] _ My _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ heart will be forever [C] _ old _
_ Cause [Dm] you're not here
Cause _ _ _ [C] you're not _ here
_ _ Cause you're [Dm] not here
Cause _ you're [C] not _ here
_ _ Cause [Dm] you're not here
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
