[Bb] [Bbm]

[Bb] [Gm] [Bb]
[C] [Ebm]
[Bb]
[A] When I was a young [Gm] man courting the girls, [A] I played me a [Gm] waiting game.
[Cm] If a maid [B] refused [Gm] me with tossing [Ab] curls, [A] I'd let the old [Eb] earth take a couple of whirls,
while [F] I plied her with tears [Gm] in place of [Eb] pearls.
[A] And as time came [Eb] around, she came my way.
[Cm] As time [A] came around, [Bb] she came.
But it's [G] a long, long [Gb] while from May to [Bb] December,
[Gm] [Bb] and the days [C] grow short [Ebm] when you reach [Bb]
September.
And the autumn [G] weather [Gb] turns the leaves [Bb] to flame,
and I haven't got [C] time [Ebm]
for the [Bb] waiting game.
And the [Ebm] wind dwindles down to [E] a precious brew,
[Em] [Ebm] September,
[E] November,
[Db] [Bb] and these [G] few vintage years [Gb] I'd share with [Bb] you.
[Gm]
[Dm] These vintage [C] years [Ebm] I'd share [Bb] with [Eb] you.
[Bb] [C] [D]
[Fm]
[C] [Am]
[C] It's [Cm] a long, [Ab] long while from May to [C] December,
and the days grow [Gb] short when you [Am] reach September.
And I [Cm] have lost one tooth, [Ab] and I walk [C] a little lame,
and I [D] haven't got time for [Fm] the waiting [C] [Am] game.
[C] And [Fm] the days turn to gold [Gb] as they grow few,
[Fm]
September, [Gb] November,
[Eb] [Am] and these [C] few [Cm] golden days [Ab]
I'd spend [C] with you.
These golden [D]
days [F] I'd spend [Fm]
[C] with you.
[G] When you meet [Ab] with the young [Gb] men early in spring,
[G] they court [Abm] you in [Am] song and [Gb] rhyme.
[Db] They [Abm] woo you with [Am] words in a [Eb] clover ring.
[D] But if [Eb] you [Am] examine the goods they bring,
they have [G] little to offer [Gb] but the songs they sing,
[Dm] and a [Abm] plentiful [Am] waste of [Gb] time of day,
[Dm] a plentiful [G] waste [C] of [Am] time.
[C] But it's [Cm] a long, long [Ab] while from May to [C]
December.
Will the clover [D] ring last [Fm] till you [C] reach [Am] September?
And I'm [A] not quite equipped [Ab]
for the waiting [C] game,
but I [D] have a little money, and [Fm] I have [Am] a little fame.
[C] [Fm] And the days dwindle down [Gb] to a precious few,
[Fm] September,
[Gb] November,
[Eb] [C]
and [E] these few [Cm] precious days [Ab] I'd spend [C] with you.
These [D] precious days [F] I'd [Fm]
spend with [C] you.
