Verse
G D Em Bm
Childhood came to me again
G D Em Bm
The dust and cobwebs left a pain
C Bm F C
That ploughed the furrows of the dead
G D Em Bm
And burning woodsmoke filled my head
G D Em Bm
And autumn gold burnt out my eyes
C Bm F C
And left me with no alibis
G D Em Bm
Naked as the stars I was
G D Em Bm
Lonely as the sky and lost
C Bm F C
The fading light is treating still
G D Em Bm
And always did and always will
G D Em Bm
And all my life is contained in this
C Bm F C Bm
The key to each and every wish
E Bm F# G D
Cried… cried! Yes I cried
C F# E D A G Em Bm
Oh so tears they rolled down and down and down ‘til I died
E Bm F# G D C F# E
Died… Died! Yes I died, oh so Lordy they buried me
D A G Em B
I went down and down ‘til I cried
Bm
Autumn spread the wings to fold me
Bm
Autumn spread the wings to hold me
[Verse]

In the colors of the smoke and flame

Their laughter filled the air
