Am                              G
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
F    C     Dm      C         G
And darker days are drawing near
F                             G
The winter winds will be much colder
               Am
Now you're not here.   (repeat intro)

[Verse 2]
Am                                     G
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
F   C      Dm       C    G
And one by one they disappear.
F                        G
I wish that I was flying with them
               Am
Now you're not here.

[Chorus]
F      C                Bb                Am
Like a song through the trees you came to love me
F      C         Bb                Am    Bbmaj7
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...       (repeat intro)

[Verse 3]
Am                                      G
Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
F   C      Dm         C       G
You always loved this time of year.
F                          G
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
                  Am                      G
'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here.
                  Am
'Cause you're not here.

[Chorus]
F      C                Bb                Am
Like a song through the trees you came to love me
F      C         Bb                Am    Bbmaj7
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...       (repeat intro)

[Verse 4]
Am                               G
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
F  C     Dm     C      G
As if to hide a lonely tear
F                       G
My life will be forever autumn...

[Outro]
                  Am                      G
'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here.
                  Am
'Cause you're not here.  (repeat and fade)
