[Verse 1]
They're all the [D]girls of the town, they're [G]hanging round
[D]See the han[G]dsome mad[A] old boy[D]
An[A]d n[D]obody knows why
they [G]hold their breath
[D]When he [Em]comes [G]rou[D]nd their way[A]
[G]Their [A]flimsy barrier[D]s
He di[G]vides [Em]without [A]time
And [G]likewise [A]their [D]river
For he'll [G]equally [A]charge[D]
Septem[F#]ber finds him all [G]alone
Just a rolling [A]stone
So [G]come you [A]stout
Oc[D]tober winds,
[G]come with [A]all your [D]power,[A]
[G]come with [A]all your [D]beauty glow,
[A]for the [G]sweet leaves [A]of
Septem[D]ber.[G][A][D][A]
And [D]though the hand of [G]charity
[D]is [G]as gentle [A]as a [D]dove
[G]Oh, [D]still the handsome
[G]Eddard [D]boy
He [G]never [Em]once for[A]lorn
He gives [G]away [A]all his [D]secrets
That lie [G]deep below [Bm]the [A]skin
And per[G]haps that's [A]why the [D]girls all cry
And they [G]want to [A]follow [D]him[G][A][D][G]
[D][G][D][A][D][A][D][G][D][G][D][A]
[G]You[A][D][G][D][A][G][A][D][G][A][D][A]
And [D]lying down in a [G]northern [D]town,
with his [G]nose [A]against the [D]bay
He's looking at those he [G]left be[D]hind to [G]stand
out in the [A]day[G][A][D][G][Em][A]
They're [G]married [A]to their [D]dark haired girls
And [G]they're bringing [A]up
their [D]son[G][A][D][A]
He's [D]nothing, he's his [G]everything[D]
He [G]cannot [A]change, oh [D]no
He's living off a [G]legacy
[D]That's [G]left for [A]those who fall
And [G]every [A]night he [D]dreams a tear
And in [G]every one [Em]there's [A]joy
All the [G]clothes that they
[A]had [D]the chance to slip
For the [G]handsome [A]man of [D]gold
