October To May

Am Dm Am Summer's gone come chill October days F G C We will stroll through russet trees G F Em Am F Through the fallen leaves of oak and sycamore Em Am G F Am That carpet earth through harsh midwinter freeze Am Dm Am Fireworks and children with eyes that sparkle bright F G C In November's Guy Fawkes flames G F Em Am F Parents thinking of their forgotten years Em Am G F Am As they join in with their children's games Am Dm Am December brings nostalgic Santa Claus F G C Toys and shining Christmas trees G F Em Am F Families huddled close round their open fires Em Am G F Am As they wait for winter's grip to ease Am Dm Am F G C G F Em Am F Em Am G F Am Am Dm Am Seaside piers, iron girders gaunt and still F G C Gone the crowds of yesterday G F Em Am F Icy fingers still in the sea at night Em Am G F Am Sad and empty tears the first of May G F Em Am F Em Am G F Am
