Introdução: F Fm7 Fdim C C/B Am C7 
 
            F               Fm7    Fdim      C     C/B   Am 
But it's a long, long time    from May to December 
        Am/G       D7    Dm7         G7       C       Fdim     C 
And the days grow short    when you reach September 
                 F     Fm           Fdim       C     C/B   Am 
When the autumn weather   turns the leaves to flame 
    Am/G        D   Dm7         G7       C     Fdim    C 
One hasn't got time    for the waiting game 
         F                      Fm7/13           Fm7              Dm7       Fdim       G 
Oh, the days dwindle down, to a precious few. September,  November 
     G7        F            Fm7     Fdim       C    C/B   Am  
And these few precious days,   I'll spend with you 
         Am/G    D         Dm7  Fdim   C   
These precious days I'll spend  with  you 
Interlude: F Fm7 Fdim C C/B Am Am/G D7 Dm7 G7 C Fdim C 
         F                      Fm7/6       Fm7                    Dm7       Fdim       G 
Oh, the days dwindle down, to a precious few. September,  November 
      G7         F           Fm7    Fdim        C    C/B    Am            A/G      D 
And these few precious days,    I'll spend with you,    these precious days  
      Dm7  Dm5-/7   C F Fdim  Dm5-/7 C 
I'll spend  with  you 
      Dm7  Dm5-/7   C F Fdim  Dm5-/7 C 
I'll spend  with  you
