[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am][D]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Autumn's [Am]ashes,
summer's embers
On [F]the sidewalk [Am]come September
Suddenly, I can't remember
[F]Any les[Am]sons learned

[Verse 2]
[Am]Now that I'm a migrant picker
[F]Trouble- minded tin [Am]can kicker
I wish my skin [F]was thick[Em]er
[F]The [Am]air has turned

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F]
[Am][F][Dm][D][Am]

[Verse 3]
"I can live [Am]alone," I [F]said
"I can make my lonesome [Am]bed
I don't need a hole in my head
[F]I don't need a l[Am]over"
But he took me by surprise
[F]I fell down and saw him r[Am]ise
He was larger in my eye[F]s
Than any [Am]other

[Verse 4]
[Am]How sudd[G]enly the
[D]sum[F]mer die[Am]d
I couldn't [G]bring [A]it [F#m]back t[D]o l[F]ife[Am]
I couldn't [G]sing it [D]back to [F]life
But [Am]I tried

[Interlude 2]
[Am][F][Am][F][Dm][D]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Came to him in summer clot[F]hing
Came to him because I [Am]chose him
Came to find his fingers [A]frozen[F]
He [Em]would [F]not [Am]reach for me

[Verse 6]
Came to him for [Am]his sweet song
[F]Came to him for right or [Am]wrong
Came to find his heart belonged
To one [F]who [Em]came be[Am]fore me

[Verse 7]
How sud[G]denly the [D]sweetness [F]died
[Am]I couldn't bring[G] it back[D]
[F]to [Am]life
I couldn't [G]sing it [D]back to [F]life
But [Am]I tried
[F][Am][F][D]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Autumn's ashes,
summer's ember[F]s
On the sidewalk come [Am]September
Suddenly, I can't remember
[F]Any les[Am]sons learned

[Verse 9]
[Am]Now that I'm a migrant p[F]icker
Trouble- minded tin [Am]can kicker
I wish my skin was [F]thicker
The [G]air has turned
