Verse



If you were coming in the fall,

I'd brush the summer by
              C7 (x32310@1)             DWith (xx0232@1)half a smile and half a spurn,
                    G7 (320001@1)    C7 (x32310@1) DAs (xx0232@1)housewives do a fly.

G7If (320001@1)I could see you in a year,

I'd wind the months in balls,
              C7 (x32310@1)             DAnd (xx0232@1)put them each in separate drawers,
                    G7 (320001@1)   C7 (x32310@1)  DUntil (xx0232@1)their time befalls.

Chorus
      
         BmIf (x24432@1)only centuries delayed,
               Em (022000@1)   CI'd (x32010@1)count them on my hand,
             G (320003@1)              DSubtracting (xx0232@1)till my fingers dropped
                   GInto (320003@1)Van Diemen's land.

BmIf (x24432@1)certain, when this life was out,
                Em (022000@1)       CThat (x32010@1)yours and mine should be,
             G (320003@1)           DI'd (xx0232@1)toss it yonder like a rind,
            GAnd (320003@1)taste eternity.

Outro

G7 - C7 - D



Verse

G7But (320001@1)now, all ignorant of the length

Of time's uncertain wing,
              C7 (x32310@1)            DIt (xx0232@1)goads me, like the goblin bee,
                          G7 (320001@1)  C7 (x32310@1)  DThat (xx0232@1)will not state its sting

Chorus
      
         BmIf (x24432@1)only centuries delayed,
               Em (022000@1)   CI'd (x32010@1)count them on my hand,
             G (320003@1)              DSubtracting (xx0232@1)till my fingers dropped
                   GInto (320003@1)Van Diemen's land.

BmIf (x24432@1)certain, when this life was out,
                Em (022000@1)       CThat (x32010@1)yours and mine should be,
             G (320003@1)           DI'd (xx0232@1)toss it yonder like a rind,
            GAnd (320003@1)taste eternity.

Lyrics:

If you were coming in the fall,
I'd brush the summer by
With half a smile and half a spurn,
As housewives do a fly.

If I could see you in a year,
I'd wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls.

If only centuries delayed,
I'd count them on my hand,
Subtracting till my fingers dropped
Into Van Diemen's land.

If certain, when this life was out,
That yours and mine should be,
I'd toss it yonder like a rind,
And taste eternity.

But now, all ignorant of the length
Of time's uncertain wing,
It goads me, like the goblin bee,
That will not state its sting
