            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

     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
