[G] When I [Gm] was a young man
[D] holding the girls [G] [Gm] I
Played me a waiting [D] game
[G] If [Gm] a maid refused me [D] with tossing [Bm] curls
I [G] let that [Gm] old earth [D] take a couple of worlds
[G] while I plied her with tears
[D] in place of pearls [B] and
[G] As time came [Gm] around she came [D] my way
[G] as
Time came [E] [Bb] around she [D] came
[G] For it's a long long while
from May [D] to December
And the days [E] grow short
[G] Then you reach [D] September and I have lost [G] my teeth
And I walk in a [D] little lame
Hey, honey, [Em] I [E] haven't got the time
[G] But in a [D] waiting game and [G] the days turn to gold as
[Gm] They grow few
September
November [G] [A] [G] and
These few cool days
I'd like to spend [D] them with you
These golden [E] days

September

[A] And [G] I'm not quite a quip
for these [D] waiting games [Am] I
Have [E] a little money
[G] And I've had a [D] little pain
[G] and these few golden days as
[Dm] They [D] grow so few
[Am] these [E] golden days
[G] I'd like to spend [D] them with you
