VERSE:
D5 C5
Time, time, time, see what's become of me
Bb5
While I looked around
A5
For my possibilities
C5
I was so hard to please
CHORUS:
D5 C5
But look around, leaves are brown
Bb5 A5 D5
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
VERSE:
C5
Hear the salvation army band
Bb5
Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride
A5
Than what you've got planned
C5
Carry your cup in your hand
CHORUS:
D5 C5
And look around you, leaves are brown now
Bb5 A5 D5
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
VERSE:
C5
Hang on to your hopes, my friend
Bb5
That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away
A5
Then simply pretend
C5
That you can build them again
CHORUS:
D5 C5
Look around, the grass is high
Bb5 A5 D5
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life
BRIDGE:
Bb5 F5
Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
C5
Weaving time in a tapestry
D5 D79 D5
Won't you stop and remember me
C5
At any convenient time
Bb5
Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
A5
Of unpublished rhyme
C5
Drinking my vodka and lime
CHORUS:
D5 C5
I look around, leaves are brown now
Bb5 A5 D5
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
OUTRO:
C5 Bb5
Look around, leaves are brown
A5 D5
There's a patch of snow on the ground
