VERSE 1
Swallows leaving for the sun
Tells me september has begun

Winter rain is waiting, for it’s throne
Where all the other summer birds have flown

CHORUS
C#m          E
But here’s the sun
C#m        E
It shines again
C#m         E
Not for the last time
C#m     G      F#m     F              Em
But the golden days of summertime are gone

CHORUS END RIFF

VERSE 2
Cold wind moves the autumn leaves
Blowing winter in my sleeves

Nights are colder than before
Shadows wait for me once more

CHORUS
C#m            E
But here’s the sun
C#m        E
It shines again
C#m         E
Not for the last time
C#m     G      F#m     F              Em
 But the golden days of summertime are gone

CHORUS END RIFF

C#m         E
The end of August
C#m         E
It strikes again
C#m         E
Not for the last time
C#m      G      F#m     F               Em
 But the golden days of summertime will come
    G      F#m     F               Em
The golden days of summertime will come

Am   Am9 3x
Am
