Dave Cousins - October To May
[Verse 1]
Am Dm Am
Summer's gone come chill October days
F G C
We will stroll through russet trees
G F Em Am F
Through the fallen leaves of oak and sycamore
Em Am G F Am
That carpet earth through harsh midwinter freeze
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Am
Fireworks and children with eyes that sparkle bright
F G C
In November's Guy Fawkes flames
G F Em Am F
Parents thinking of their forgotten years
Em Am G F Am
As they join in with their children's games
[Verse 3]
Am Dm Am
December brings nostalgic Santa Claus
F G C
Toys and shining Christmas trees
G F Em Am F
Families huddled close round their open fires
Em Am G F Am
As they wait for winter's grip to ease
[Instrumental]
Am Dm Am F G C
G F Em Am F Em Am G F Am
[Verse 4]
Am Dm Am
Seaside piers, iron girders gaunt and still
F G C
Gone the crowds of yesterday
G F Em Am F
Icy fingers still in the sea at night
Em Am G F Am
Sad and empty tears the first of May
[Outro]
