[G] [Fm]
[Bbm] [Bb] When I was a young man courting the girls, I played me a waiting game.
If a maid refused me with [Eb] tossing curls, I let [Bb] the old earth [Eb] take a couple of whirls.
[Gm] While I [G] plied her with tears [C] in lieu [F] of pearls, and [B] as time came [Bb] around, [A] she came my [Ab] way.
[G] As time came around, she came.
But [Db] it's a [C] long
[B] [F] [D]
way from May [Em] to December.
[Dm]
[C] [Am]
But the days [D] grow [Ab] short [F] when you reach [G] September.
[C] When the autumn weather [Cm] [F]
[E] turns the leaves to flame,
[Dm] [C]
[Em] one [D] hasn't got [Ab] time for [F]
the [G] waiting [C] game.
[Em] [C]
[Fm] Oh, the days dwindle down
[Eb] to [Gb] a [Eb] precious few.
[C]
[Fm] September,
[Gb] November, [C]
[F] and these few precious [Cm] days,
[F]
[Fm] I'll spend with [E]
you.
[Dm] [C]
[Am] These [D] precious days I'll spend with you.
[C]
[G] [Fm] And the wine dwindles down to [Gb] a precious brew.
[Fm] September.
[Eb] [A]
[C] And these few [F] vintage [C]
[F] years,
[D]
I'll [B] spend with you.
[Dm]
[C] [Em]
[Am] These precious years [Dm] I'll spend [Db] with you.
