The Strawbs


Tom: Em

Em                    C
I sense Autumn coming on
Am                         Em
The mist has hung low all day
                           C
Small birds gather on the wing
Am           Em     D        C
Preparing to make their way.
Am
The leaves begin to show
                    G

Am

Am              Em  D    C
As late Summer falls asleep.
Am
The leaves begin to scatter
               G
As the North wind calls their name
Am
Folding gently back into
