Introduction: D9 D6 Fº E7 A D9 Dm6 A7M
A C#m7 D9 Bm7(b5) E7
One day you turn around and it's summer
A C#m7 D9 Dm6
Next day you turn around and it's fall
E7 A C#m F#m F#m/E
And the springs and the winters of a lifetime
D9 Dm6 Fº D9 Dm6 E7 E7(13)
Whatever happened to them all
D9 Dm6 A7M F#m A7M C#m7(b5) Bm7 Bm7(b5)
As a man who has always had the wand'ring ways
E7(13) E7 Bm7(b5) Dm6 F#m
Now I'm reaching back for yesterdays
E7 Bm7(b5) Dm6 A A7M
'Til a long-forgotten love appears
C#7 D Bm7 Cº Dm6 A F#7
And I find that I'm sighing softly as I near
B7 B7(9) E7 E7(13) E7 Bm7(b5) E7 A7M
September, the warm September of my years
D9 Dm6 A7M F#m A7M C#m7(b5) Bm7 Bm7(b5)
As a man who has never paused at wishing wells
E7(13) E7 Bm7(b5) Dm6 F#m
Now I'm watching children's carousels
E7 Bm7(b5) Dm6 A A7M
And their laughter's music to my ears
C#7 D Bm7 Cº Dm6 A F#7
And I find that I'm smiling gently as I near
B7 B7(9) E7 E7(13) E7 Bm7(b5) E7 F#7
September, the warm September of my years
D9 D6 Fº E7 A D9 Dm6 A7M
The golden warm September of my years
