Introduction:

difficulty
very hard |||||
C      Am7                 Dm         D9    G            Dm7                  C7+            Am  
If ever    I would leave you,      it wouldn't be in summer
Dm            F            Dm7(5-)      G        G      Am7      G/B    C      C7+      C7  
Seeing you in         summer,    I            never    would go
             C7                                            F7+              G                 G/B    Em7            C7+      Am  
Your hair streaked with sunlight,      your lips red as flame
             F                            Dm         Dm7+  Dm7                              F          Dm    Dm7    G  
Your face with a luster                      that puts gold to    shame
C             Am7      Dm         D9    G            Dm7                  C7+    Am  
But if I'd ever leave you,         it couldn't be in autumn
Dm                    F            Dm7(5-)      G        G      Am7    G/B      C      C7+    C7  
How I'd leave in autumn,         I              never    will know
             C7                              F7+              G              G/B    Em7            C7+      Am  
I've seen how you sparkle            when fall nips the air
     F                            Dm         Dm7+  Dm7                    F      G         C      Dm7      G  
I know you in autumn                      and I must be there
Bridge
                                  E                      C#m7      A                    B7                         E  
And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
                        G#                         Bbm7                         F#m7                                    B7         G7  
Or on a wintry evening         when you catch the fire's glow
C    Em7    Am7                 Dm      D9    G              Dm7                  C7+         Am  
If ever I would leave you,      how could it be in springtime
Dm                 F            Dm7(5-)      G        G                 Am7  G/B    C      C7+    C7  
Knowing how in spring I'm            bewitched by    you so
          C7                            F7+              Fm                                     Am            Am7+    D7  
Oh, no, not in springtime,    summer, winter, or fall
        F                                         D9                            G7      C  
No never could I leave you            at    all
