September Song Harmonica Tabs

4 -4 -4 -4 -5 -5
When I was a young man
5 5 5 4
courting the girls,
4 -4 -4 -4 -5 -5 5
I played me a waiting game.
4 4 -4 -4 -5 -5
If a maid refused me
-5 5 5 6
with tossing curls,
6 -5 -5 -5 -6
I’d let the old earth
-6 -6 6 6 6 7
take a couple of whirls,
4 4 -4 -4 -4 -5 -5 5 5 -6
While I plied her with tears instead of pearls.
4 4 -4 -4 -4 -5 -5 5 5 4
And as time came around she came my way.
4 -4 -4 -4 -5 -5 5
As time came around, she came.
4 5 -7 -6 -6 -6 4 4 5 -6 6 6
Oh, it’s a long, long while from May to December,
5 5 6 7 -8 -4 -4 4 -4 5 5
But the days grow short when you reach September.
4 4 5 -7 -6 -6 4 4 5 -6 6
When the Autumn weather turns the leaves to flame,
5 6 6 7 -8 -4 5 -5 -5 5
One hasn’t got time for the waiting game.
7 7 -8 7 -7 7 7 7 8 7 7
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few–
7 -8 7 7 -8 7 4 5 -7 -6 -6 -6
September, November. And these few precious days
4 5 -6 6 5 -6 -6 -6
I’ll spend with you. These precious days,
-6 7 7 7
I’ll spend with you.
