September Song Chords by Lotte Lenya

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
[C#] _ [A] Oh, _ it's [C] a long, [D] long [C#] while from May till [C] _
[D] December
_ _ [E] And the days [G] grow short _ _ when [C] you reach [F] _ September
_ When [E] the autumn [D] _ weather _ [C#] _ turns the leaves [C] to [Dm] flame
_ [F] _ One [A] hasn't got [G] _ _ time [C] for the [F] waiting [Am] game
_ [Dm] _ _ [A#] For the [A#m] days swivel down to a [F] precious few
_ _ _ September, _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ November _ _
_ _ [G#] And these few [Fm]
precious _ [C] days [C#] I'll spend [F] with you
_ _ These [Cm] precious [G] days _ _ [A#m] I'll spend _ [F] with you
When you meet with a young [Dm] man early in [C] spring
Their courtesans [Dm] song and rhyme
Their wooey [F#] with [Dm] songs and a clovering
[Gm] But if you examine the [F] goods they [Dm] bring
[Gm] They have little [C] to offer but the songs [B] they sing
[Gm] And a plentiful waste [Dm] of time of [B] day
[Gm] And a [C] plentiful waste [F] of time
[N] But _ it's a [Fm] long, long [C#] while from May till [F] _
December
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] When the [Fm] autumn _ weather _ [C#] _ turns the [F] leaves to flame
_ _ _ For [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] the days swivel down to [D] a precious few
[B] _ _ [A#m] _ September, _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ November _
_ _ [N] And _ _ these few [Fm] precious _ _ [C#] days I'll [F] spend with [Dm] you
_ [F] _
These precious [G] _ _ _ days [A#m]
I'll spend with _ _ [F] you
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
