Chords for Walter Huston - September Song (1938)

_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
But [E] _ it's [Cm] a long, long while _ [Ab] from May [C] to _ December
_ _ And the days grow [D]
short _ _ when [Fm] you reach [C] _
September
_ _ And I [Cm]
have lost one tooth _ [Ab] and I walk [Am] a little [C] lame
_ _ _ And I haven't [D] got _ time _ for [C] the waiting _ [Am] _ game _ _
[C] _ [Fm] And the days turn to gold [Gb] as they grow few _ [Fm] September, _ _ _ [C] _ _ November
[Eb] _
_ _ [Am] And _ [C] these few [Cm] golden _ days [Ab] _ I'd spend [C] with you
_ _ _ [B]
These [C] golden [D] _ _ days [Fm] I'd spend _ _ _ with [C] you _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ When you meet [Ab] with the young men [Gb] early in spring
[G] They caught you in [A] song and [Gb] rhyme
[G] They woo you with [Am] words in a clover [G] ring
_ But if you examine the [Am] goods they bring
They [Fm] have little [G] to offer but [Gb] the songs they sing
[B] And a [Abm] plentiful waste of [Gb] time of day
_ [G] A plentiful waste of [C] _ time _
_ _ _ But [Cm] it's a long, long while [Ab] from May to [C] _
December
_ Will the clover [D] ring _ last _ [Fm] till you reach [C] _ September?
_ _ And I'm [Cm] not quite equipped _ _ [Ab] for the [C] waiting _ game
_ But [Bb] I have a [D] little money _ _ _ [F]
and [G] I have a [C] little fame _ _ _
And [Fm] the days dwindle down [Gb] to a precious few _ [Fm] September, _ _ _ _ _ _ November
_ _ _ [Ab] And [E] these few [Cm] precious _ [Ab] days _ I'd spend [C] with you
_ _ These _ [D] precious _ _ days [Fm]
I'd spend _ _ _ with [C]
you _ _ _ _ _ _ _
