capo 1

Verse 1:

Em
Don't you go lookin' so surprised, baby don't you look so stunned
D                                A                          Bm
Didn't I tell you that a cold November'd come
D                                           A
And deliver the leaves from green to red
Bm                                   A
To blowin' in the wind stone dead

Verse 2:

Em
Well I never used to notice this awful quiet, mmmmh
D                                                         A                         Bm
And fall was just the calm before the next spring riot, mmmhh
D                                 A
Of wildflowers and lunatic rivers -
Bm                                                                  A
Sweat jumping off of the skin of love givers, mmh (in the park)

Chorus:

D                      A         Bm
Scattered leaves don't lie
D                      A                      Bm
Aw' now baby, baby, quit your cryin'
D                                                     A
Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered
Bm
Like every love word you heard
D                                                  A
But that's just the way when you walk your days
Bm
In the beauty of this world
(repeat)

Verse 3:

Em
pretty little disappointments all in a row
D                                          A                                    Bm
Been about a year since you disappeared through my door
D                                                      A
And now you come back with your head on straight,
Bm                                                     A
But I got no love or hate left for you, girl

Verse 4:
Em
You must be the daughter of the late, late rose - I'm November's
Em
son
D                                               A                            Bm
And I'm here to tell you, honey, ooh what's done is done
D                                           A
Yeah, I been claimed by the wind and the rain
Bm                                                                                       
                                           A
There ain't no going back, naw there ain't no going back again (for us now)

Chorus:

D                      A         Bm
Scattered leaves don't lie
D                      A                      Bm
Aw' now baby, baby, quit your cryin'
D                                                     A
Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered
Bm
Like every love word you heard
D                                                  A
But that's just the way when you walk your days
Bm
In the beauty of this world
(repeat)
