4/4 time
Capo: none

Recorded by Harvey Andrews on Friends of Mine album in 1973. The song has an 
ethereal feel to it and is played in the key of A minor. I suggest that it be 
played in a light finger picking style with feeling.

The chord of G should be played throughout as shown in the tab diagram below to 
help keep the minor mood of the song. The lower case notes 'c' and 'ae' are 
intended to be played as single notes. The 'c' should be played as shown below on 
the 4th beat of the measure which leads into the Am chord. The ae (an A5 chord) at 
the end of the coda should be plucked together:

        ////    ////

Intro: Play Am a few times

     A5           D5
On a misty autumn morning
A5                            D5
  You can hear the wild birds call
G5                      A5
  Giving chilly winter warning
E5                       C5    A5
  That the evening star will fall.

A5                                 D5
  I feel the wind that sings their crying
A5                        D5
  I wish the dying sun goodbye
G5                         A5
  And I stand to see them flying
E5                  C5    A5
  To a warm and welcome sky.

Chorus:
      A5                D5
And I stay to meet cold winter
G5                                 E5
  To crunch the crackling ice and snow
F5                            G5
  To walk alone beneath bare branches
E5                           A5
  And wonder why you had to go.

A5                          D5
  The empty rooms they echo laughter
A5                                D5
  The broken door creaks one more song
G5                               A5
  And in the silence that comes after
E5                             C5   A5
  The dusty floors, they ask 'how long?'

(Repeat chorus)
And I stay to meet... etc

A5                               D5
Soon I'll find winter clothes to hold me
A5                            D5
  And wrap myself against the cold
G5                                A5
  But frost and fire, they never told me
E5                          C5   A5
  There is no peace in growing old.

Coda:
E5                                ae (let ring)
There is no peace in growing ... old.
