G G(b5) G5 D/F# Em7 A13sus4 A7sus4
Spinn - ing further from the sun,
G G(b5) G5 D/F# Em7 A13sus4 A7sus4
Here's Oc - tober in our lungs,

[Verse 3]
Csus2(#11) G/B Gmaj7/B

South of here the winter's kinder,

So they leave to find fair weather,
G G6 G(b5) D/F# Ddim/F Em7 Gmaj7/B D2/4
And how high our spirits rise, on their re - turning!
