[D] Her brown eyes shone for [C] nobody [G] but me.
Then autumn forever, [C] the full come [G] a-fallin'.
And the rain [C] turned a-freezin' inside [G] of me.
I'll kindle [C] my fires with the words I [G] can't send you.
[D] The roads I can't follow [C] and the songs I [G] can't sing.
[C] [A] [G]
Well, all you young ladies who dream of tomorrow.
[D] While you're listening, [C] these words will I [G] say.
Cling to today with its [C] joy and its [G] sorrow.
Oh, you'll need [C] all your memories when youth [G] melts away.
Well, the angel [C] of summer, he rides [G] on the south wind.
And [D] the angel of [C] springtime, she does just [G] the same.
Oh, the angel of autumn, she's [C] blue and she's [G] golden.
And the angel [C] of winter won't remember your name.
Well, down at the [C] bottom of that dirty [G] old river.
[D] Down where the reeds [C] and the catfish.
[G]
There [Gm] lies a dream [C] as soft [G] as the water.
There [C] lies a bluebird that's flown [G] away.
There [C] lies a bluebird that's flown [A] [G] away.
