Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
            [Verse 1]
Am                              G
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
F    C     Dm      C         G
And darker days are drawing near
F                             G       
The winter winds will be much colder
               Am
Now you're not here.   (repeat intro)
(same chords progression)
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.
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
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.
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn...
[Outro]
                  Am                      G
'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here.
                  Am
'Cause you're not here.  (repeat and fade)
