Intro: C G Am Em Dm7 F G7
C Am F C
In the Spring of my life, she came to me
Em Am Dm7 G7
She brought sunshine, where winter winds, had blown
C Em F C E7
Then I took her for my wife, in the spring of my life
Am Dm7 G7 C Em7 A7
And she brought me a joy, I never known
D Bm G D
And the years, they went by, in the spring of my life
F#m Bm Em7 A7
And in summer, she blessed, me with a child
D F#m G D F#7
Love continued to grow, in the summer of my life
Bm Em7 A7 D Dm7 G7
And in every morning sun, I saw her smile
C Am F C
But in the autumn of my years, I noticed the tears
Em Am Dm7 G7
And I knew that our life, was in the past
C Em F C E7
Though I tried to pretend, I knew it was the end
Am Dm7 G7 C Em7 A7
For the autumn of my life, had come at last
D Bm G D
Now what, what do you say, to a child of ten ?
F#m Bm Em7 A7
How do you tell him, his daddy's going away ?
D F#m G D F#7
Do I tell him, that I, reached the autumn of my life
Bm Em7 A7 D Dm7 G7
And that he'll understand, some winter's day ?
C Am F C
Now the rose can't be found, on a snow covered ground
Em Am Dm7 G7
And the Sun, can not shine, through cloudy skys
C Em F C E7
But I'm richer, you see, for the years she gave to me
Am F G7 C
And I'm content, in the autumn, of my life...
