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)
