                  *              C         Am 
When I was a young man a-courtin' the girls, 
               *           C 
I played me a waitin'  game; 
                 *              C            Am 
If a maid refused me with a toss of her curls, 
     F            G              C         Am 
I'd let the ol' world take a couple of twirls, 
         F            *            C         Am 
And I'd ply her with tears  instead of pearls, 
                  *              C       Am 
And as time came around she came my way, 
              *              G      G7 
As time came around, she came.  
             F               Fm7            C     C/B   Am 
But it's a long, long time    from May to December, 
        Am/G       D7    Dm7         G7       C             C 
And the days grow short    when you reach September; 
                 F     Fm                    C     C/B   Am 
When the autumn weather   turns the leaves to flame, 
    Am/G        D   Dm7         G7       C          C 
One hasn't got time    for the waiting game. 
         F                      Fm7/6           Fm7 
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few... 
   Dm7        *           G 
Sep-tem-ber...No-vem-ber... 
 
     G7        F            Fm7              C    C/B   Am 
And these few precious days    I'll spend with you, 
         Am/G    D         Dm7       C 
These precious days I'll spend  with  you. 
 
         F                      Fm7/6       Fm7 
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few... 
    Dm7         *         G 
Sep-tem-ber...No-vem-ber... 
 
      G7         F           Fm7              C    C/B    Am 
And these few precious days    I'll spend with you, 
        A/G      D 
These precious days 
      Dm7  Dm7/5-  C    F     *        Dm7/5-    C 
I'll spend  with  you. 
 
                   *                 C      Am 
When you meet with the young men in the early Spring 
                    *             C 
They'll count you with wine and with song 
                   *             C     Am 
They'll woo you with  words  and a clover ring 
    F        G          C               Am 
But if you examine the goods that they bring 
           F        *            C               Am 
They have little to offer but the songs that they sing 
              *        C      Am 
And a plentiful  waste of time of day 
          *        G   G7 
A plentiful  waste of time 
 
(Repeat Refrain)
