Intro: Play Am a few times
Am Dm
On a misty autumn morning
Am Dm
You can hear the wild birds call
G Am
Giving chilly winter warning
E C Am
That the evening star will fall.
Am Dm
I feel the wind that sings their crying
Am Dm
I wish the dying sun goodbye
G Am
And I stand to see them flying
E C Am
To a warm and welcome sky.
Chorus:
Am Dm
And I stay to meet cold winter
G E
To crunch the crackling ice and snow
F G
To walk alone beneath bare branches
E Am
And wonder why you had to go.
Am Dm
The empty rooms they echo laughter
Am Dm
The broken door creaks one more song
G Am
And in the silence that comes after
E C Am
The dusty floors, they ask 'how long?'
(Repeat chorus)
And I stay to meet... etc
Am Dm
Soon I'll find winter clothes to hold me
Am Dm
And wrap myself against the cold
G Am
But frost and fire, they never told me
E C Am
There is no peace in growing old.
Coda:
E ae (let ring)
There is no peace in growing ... old.
