September Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
When I [Bm]was a young man courting the girls,
[G]I pla[D]yed me a wai[Bm]ting game.
[E]When a mai[Am]d refused me[D]
with tossing [E]curls,
[A]I let the old e[D]arth take a c[Bm]ouple o[Em]f whirls,
[D]While I plied her with tears
in[Em]stead [A]of curls.
And as time came [D]around,
[Bm]she came [Em]my way.
As time [Am]came [Ab]around, she [G]came.
Oh, it's [A]a l[Em]ong, l[G]ong while
From May to December
And the days grow short
[A]Whe[Cm]n you rea[D]ch September[G]
When the autumn [Gm]weather
Turns the [G]leaves to flame
One [Bm]hasn't got [G]time [A]for[Cm]
[Adim]the wait[D]ing game[G]
Oh, [Cm]the days dwindle down
to a pre[C#dim]cious few
September[Cm], Novembe[Dbdim]r
And [Bm]these few pre[Gm]cious days
[Eb]I'll spend [G]with [D]you
[G]These precious day[A]s
I'll [Cm]spend with [G]you
When [C]you meet with [G]the young [Bm]men
early in spring
[G]They [Am]court you in [D]song [Bm]and rhyme
[G]They [Abdim]woo you w[E]ith[Am]
[D]words and [Bm]a clover ring
[Em]But if you e[D]xamine the g[G]oods
that they bring[Em],
They have [G]little to [D]offer
but [Em]the songs they s[A]ing.
And a plentiful [D]waste of [Bm]time of day,
[Em]
A plenti[Am]ful waste [Ab]of t[G]ime.[Bm]
[G][D][G][Eb][G][D]
[Em][A][D][G]
[Bm]When[G] the autumn weather
[Gm]turn[C] s t[Cm]he leaves [Eb]to flame[G][Bm]
[G]One hasn't got [D]time [Em]for[A]
[Am]the wait[D]ing game[G]
Oh, [Adim]the days [Cm]dwindle down
to a pre[C#dim]cious few[Cm]
September, [C#dim]Novem ber
[G]And these few [C#dim]golden da[Em]ys,[Gm]
[Cm]I'll spend with you
[G]These gol[D]den days,
[A]I'l[D]l s[A]pend [Cm]with y[F]ou
You
