  D         D6     Dm7+         Dm6
Old Father time checked, so there'd be no doubt
 A7M        F#m      C#m5-/7      F#7
Called on the North wind   to  come on out
 A       E       D9     B7
Then cupped his hands so proudly to shout
D9         E7          D9        A
"La-di-dah  di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn"
 D          D6          Dm7+          Dm6
Trees say they're tired, they've born too much fruit
 A7M      F#m    C#m5-/7        F#7
Charmed on the wayside, there's no dispute
A       E       D9        B7
Now shedding leaves, they don't give a hoot 
D9         E7          D9       A
La-di-dah  di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn
Bridge
     Em7         A7     G/B           A7
Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather
D  G/B  A7   D6
Mmmm - mmm - mmm - mmm
    F#m7         B7        F#m7           B7
After makin' their decision, in birdie-like precision
E7    F#m         B7         E7
Turned about, and made a beeline to the south
 D        D6      Dm7+      Dm6
My holding you close really is no crime 
     A7M        F#m      C#m5-/7     F#7
Ask the birds and the trees and old Father Time
      A     E      D9    B7
It's just to help the mercury climb
D9         E7          D9       A
La-di-dah  di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn
