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		A#		  Am
Like a song through the trees you came to love me
F      C         A#                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)
