Fall is a lovely time of the year  
A7    D6            Em7  Gdim  D9 
When leaves turn to gold and brow 
      Bm           F#7     Bm7       B7 
But soon fall is ending, winter is near 
         G      G/F# Em7   Em6 A7 
And the leaves start tumblin' down 
D            F#m        Bm         Bm7/E 
Why must the moments go by in such haste 
Em7   Em7/9 Em7  A7 
Don't wait too long 
Em7        A7        G/B Cdim     A7   Em7 
Winter is coming I've no time to waste

Don't wait too long 
   G                G/F#     Em7        Em6     
So while my heart's gay and foolish and free 
    D         F#m        B7 
And still can sing it's song 
 Em         B         G          Em6      A7  
Share ev'ry precious moment with me 
      Edim  A7   D6 
Don't wait too long
