_ Well, I [Bb] woke up the day it fell, [E] _ [Gm] _
_ frost perched on the [C] town. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] It [C] hovered in a frozen _ [Gm] sky, and gobbled [C] summer down.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F]
And when the sun [Cm] turns straighter cold, _ _ [F] _
and shivering [Gm] trees are [D] standing [G] in a naked [Dm] row,
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
I get the [Bb] urge for going, _ _ _ and I never [C] seem to go. _ _ _
_ And [Bb] I [F] get the urge [C] for going, [Gm] when the [F] meadow grass is [C]
turning brown,
[Bb] _ [F] summer time is [C] a-falling down, _ _ [Gm] winter's [C] closing in.
[G] I _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
had a woman [Bb] in the summertime, _ _ _ with [C] summer-colored skin, _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] and [C] not another man in [F] town, [Gm] _ my darlin's [C] heart could win.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] And when the leaves [Eb] fell tumbling [Bb] down, _ [F] _
and bully [Gm] winds did [A] rub their [G] faces in the snow,
[Dm] _ she _ _ [C] _ _
got the [Bb] urge for going, _ _ and [C] I [G] had to [C] let her go. _ _ _ _
_ [F] And she got the urge [C] for going, _ [F] when the meadow grass [C] was a-turning brown,
[F] _ [Bb] _ [F] summer [C] time was a-falling down, [F] _ _ [Bb] winter's [C] closing in.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _

_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And the warmth of [Bb] winter [C] _ [Gm] _ gave a cold [C] triumphant shout,
_ _ _ _ all [Bb] _
[F] that stays [C] is dying, _ [Bb] _ and all that lives is getting [C] held. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] You see the geese [Eb] in Chevron fly, [F] _ _ a [Cm]-flapping and a-racing [Bb] on [G] before the snow.
[C] _ They _ [Dm] _ [C] _ _ got the [Bb] urge for going, _ _ _ and they got the [C] wings to go.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] And [F] they get the urge [C] for going, _ [Bb] when [F] the meadow grass [C] is a-turning brown,
[Bb] _
[F] summer time [C] is a-falling down, _ _
[Bb] winter's [C] closing in.
_ And _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ I'll pile the [Gm] fire with kindling, _ _ and pull the blankets [C] to my chin.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
I'll lock the [F] vagrant [C] winter [Bb] out, and bold my wandering [C] hand. _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ I'd like to call [Cm] back summertime, _ _ [F] _ and let her [Cm] stay [Bb] for just [Eb] another [G] month or so. _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ She's got the urge [Bb] for going, _ [Gm] _ _ and I'll have [C] to let her go.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [C] [Bb] And she [F] gets the [C] urge for going, _ when the [F] meadow grass is a [C]-turning brown,
[Bb] _
[F] all her [C] empires are falling down, _
_ [Bb] winter's [C] closing in. _ _
_ _ [Bb] And I get [F] the urge for [C] going, _ when [Bb] the meadow [F] grass is [C] a-turning brown,
_ [Bb] summer [F] time [C] is a-falling down.
