Dm                             C 
Time, time, time, see what's become of me 
       Bb 
While I looked around 
            Am 
For my possibilities 
         C       
I was so hard to please 
            Dm                C 
But look around, leaves are brown 
          Bb      A7            Dm 
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter 
 
                   C 
Hear the salvation army band 
Bb 
Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride 
      Am 
Than what you've got planned 
            C 
Carry your cup in your hand 
           Dm                  C 
And look around, leaves are brown now 
         Bb        A7            Dm 
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter 
 
                  C 
Hang on to your hopes, my friend 
           Bb 
That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away 
          Am 
Simply pretend 
               C 
That you can build them again 
       Dm                  C 
Look around, the grass is high 
                Bb                 A7            Dm 
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life 
 
 
Bb                            F     Fmaj7 
Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery 
                  C9 
Weaving time in a tapestry 
                     Dm A7   Dm 
Won't you stop and remember me 
C 
  At any convenient time 
Bb 
Funny how my memory skips while looking over manuscripts 
       Am 
Of unpublished rhyme 
             C 
Drinking my vodka and lime 
        Dm                   C 
But look around, leaves are brown now 
         Bb            A7         Dm 
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter 
 
         C               Bb 
Look around, leaves are brown 
         A7              Dm 
There's a patch of snow on the ground...  (last two lines 3x)
