_ _ When [Eb] I was a young [Db] man courting the girls, I played [Eb] me a waiting [Fm] game.
When [F] a maid refused me [Fm] with tossing [G] curls, I let the old earth [Fm] take a couple of whirls.
[Db] Well, I plied her with tears [Fm] in place of pearls.
_ [Eb] And as time came around, she [Fm] came my way.
_ _ [Eb] As time came _ [Em] around, _ [Eb] she _ [Ab] _
came.
_ _ _ _ For it's [Abm] a long, _ _ _ long way from [E] May to [Ab] _ _
December.
_ _ _ And the [Cm] days grow [Bb] _ short _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] until you [Ab] reach _ September.
_ _ _ And I [Abm] have lost one tooth, [E] and I walk a little [Fm] lame.
[Ab] _ _ _
_ And I [Cm] haven't got [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ time for the [Eb] _
waiting [Ab] _ _ [Cm] game. _ _
_ _ And the [Dbm] days turn to God _ _ [Dbm] as _ _
[Dm] they grow few.
[G] _ _ _
_ [Dbm] September, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ no [E] way! _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ These few [Abm] _ golden _ _ days I spend with [Ab] _ _ _
you.
These _ _ golden _ [Bb] _ _ _ days I [Dbm] _ _ _ live. _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] When you meet with a young man [Fm] early in spring, they court you [Db] with song and [Db] rhyme.
They woo you with words [Fm] and a clover ring.
[G] But if you examine the [Db] goods they bring, they have [Eb] little to offer but the [Fm] songs they sing.
_ _ And a plentiful waste of time and day. _ _ _
_ [Eb] Plentiful _ [E] waste. _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ For it's [Abm] a long, long _ [E] way from May to _ [Ab] _ December. _ _ _
Well, the clover ring [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ lasts [Eb] till you reach _
[Eb] _ September.
_ _ [Ab] _ _
And [Fm] I am [Abm] quite _ _ _ equipped for the [E] waiting _ game.
_ _ _ But I have a little [Bb] money, _ _ _ _ and I [Eb] have a little [Ab] _ fame. _
_ _ _ _ [Dbm] And the days turn to God _ as _ _ they grow few.
_ [D] _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ September, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [E]
November.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ And with [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ these words [Dbm] I _ _ _ [Dbm] _ say.
