Dm                                C
  The Summer sun is fading as the year grows cold
Bb     Am     Bb               C
   And darker days are drawing near
Bb                              C     (pause)
  The winter winds will be much colder
               Dm
Now you're not here

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear.
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here.

A#     F                D#                Dm
Like a song through the trees you came to love me
A#      F         D#                Dm    A#7
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year.
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
                  Dm                      C
'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here.
                  Dm
'Cause you're not here.

Like a song through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn...

                  Dm                      C
'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here.
                  Dm
'Cause you're not here.  (repeat and fade)

Have Fun
For an easier way to play the chorus, you may want to use a capo on the 5th fret
