Autumn Song Harvey Andrews 4/4 time Capo: none Recorded by Harvey Andrews on Friends of Mine album in 1973. The song has an ethereal feel to it and is played in the key of A minor. I suggest that it be played in a light finger picking style with feeling. The chord of G should be played throughout as shown in the tab diagram below to help keep the minor mood of the song. The lower case notes 'c' and 'ae' are intended to be played as single notes. The 'c' should be played as shown below on the 4th beat of the measure which leads into the Am chord. The ae (an A5 chord) at the end of the coda should be plucked together: //// //// G C Am ae E--x--¦----x----0-----¦-----0-- B--0--¦----1----1-----¦-----x-- G--0--¦----x----2-----¦-----x-- D--0--¦----x----2-----¦-----x-- A--2--¦----x----0-----¦-----0-- E--3--¦----x----0-----¦-----x-- Intro: Play Am a few times
On a Ammisty autumn Dmmorning Am You can hear the wild birds Dmcall G Giving chilly winter Amwarning E That the evening star Cwill Amfall.
Am I feel the wind that sings their Dmcrying Am I wish the dying sun gooDmdbye G And I stand to see them Amflying E To a warm and welCcome Amsky.
Chorus:
And I Amstay to meet cold Dmwinter G To crunch the crackling ice and Esnow F To walk alone beneath bare Gbranches E And wonder why you had to Amgo.
Am The empty rooms they echo Dmlaughter Am The broken door creaks one more Dmsong G And in the silence that comes Amafter E The dusty floors, they ask 'Chow Amlong?'
(Repeat chorus) And I stay to meet... etc
AmSoon I'll find winter clothes to Dmhold me Am And wrap myself against the Dmcold G But frost and fire, they never Amtold me E There is no peace in growCing Amold.
Coda: E ae (let ring) There is no peace in growing ... old.
