Remember it? Intro: Am (I leave it to you to pick out the lead) Am G The summer sun is fading as the year grows cold F Em F G And darker days are drawing near Em F G G The winter winds will be much colder Am Now you're not here. (repeat intro) I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky And one by one they disappear. I wish that I was flying with them Now you're not here. F C Bb Am Like a song through the trees you came to love me F C Bb Am F7 Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away... (repeat intro) Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way You always loved this time of year. Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now Am G 'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here. Am 'Cause you're not here. Like a song through the trees you came to love me Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away... A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes As if to hide a lonely tear My life will be forever autumn... Am G 'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here. Am 'Cause you're not here. (repeat and fade)
