Intro: A    A/E    A    A    D    G    D    A  

            D      Bm A D 
The October leaves 
     A          D            Bm A D 
They whisper in lemon chimes 
    A             D     Bm A D 
And ring autumn's bells 
     A          D             Bm A D 
That glisten in colors rhymes 

                 A 
And sings simple songs of love 
               D 
That echo from other times 
              A         G          D 
They write no words be- -tween the lines 

    A                D    Bm A D 
The cloud ships that soar 
    A             D              Bm A D 
And raise high a- bove the shore 
    A           D    Bm A D 
Up- on sails of fire 
   A             D             Bm A D 
To sunset?fs ca- thedral doors 

                    A 
Not to die with the day that's past 
                     D 
Or to cry for what's past before 
                A       G       D 
They follow the sun for one day more 

Solo 
A    A    A    A    D    G    D  

     A            D     Bm A D 
When yesterday?fs clown 
    A              D             Bm A D 
Who weeps when the curtains down 
         A          D    Bm A D 
Sees the circus has gone 
        A             D          Bm A D 
And to- morrow?fs an- other town 

                   A 
Your kingdoms will have no rings 
                 D 
To wear all your paper crowns 
                   A        G       D 
You'll fall but my ear will hear no sound 

    A          D    Bm A D 
To- morrow I'm gone 
     A            D              Bm    A D 
I'll leave you a- lone with your fears 
    A           D  Bm A D 
I'd rather move on 
    A            D           Bm    A D 
And you'd rather hide behind tears 

               A 
You cry in the starlit nears 
                     D 
But you run when the rainbow appears 
                    A        G        D    G D G D 
So we'll walk other days our separate ways
