    Fdim                  C            Am                   C 
When I was a young man acourtin' the girls 
   Fdim                      
I played me a waitin'  game 
     Fdim                     C           Am                     
If a maid refused me with a toss of her curls 
  F           G             C        Am 
I'd let the ol' world take a couple of twirls 
         F                      C        Am                     
And I'd ply her with tears  instead of pearls 
        Fdim                   C      Am 
And as time came around she came my way 
   Fdim                G     G7 
As time came around, she came 

            F               Fm7    Fdim      C     C/B   Am 
But it's a long, long time,    from May to December 
        Am/G       D7    Dm7         G7       C       Fdim     C 
And the days grow short,    when you reach September 
                 F     Fm           Fdim       C     C/B   Am 
When the autumn weather,   turns the leaves to flame 
    Am/G        D   Dm7         G7       C     Fdim C 
One hasn't got time,    for the waiting game 
         F                      Fm7/13           Fm7              Dm7      Fdim     G 
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few. September, November 
     G7        F            Fm7     Fdim       C    C/B   Am  
And these few precious days,   I'll spend with you 
         Am/G    D         Dm7  Fdim   C   
These precious days I'll spend with  you 
Interlude: F Fm7/9 Fm7                     
         F                      Fm7/9       Fm7                    Dm7       Fdim       G 
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few. September   November 
      G7         F           Fm7    Fdim        C    C/B    Am            A/G      D 
And these few precious days    I'll spend with you,    these precious days  
      Dm7  Dm5-/7   C    F    Fdim       Dm5-/7    C 
I'll spend  with  you
