[Fm] [Fm]
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.
