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

[Am] I have [E] a little money
[G] And I've had a [D] little pain
And [G] you've got to be careful
And these few golden days
As they [D] grow so few
[Am] These [D] [E] golden days
I'd [G] like to spend [D] them with you
These [Bm] precious [E] golden days
