^DWhen the sun turns tr^Caitor cold D C E 022130 and all the trees are shivering in a naked row A G 007650 I get the urge for going but I never seem to go

I ^Gget the u^Drge for go^Aing When the me^Gadow gr^Dass is tu^Arning brown ^GSummert^Dime is fal^Aling down and win^Ater is clo^Gsing ^Ain

xx7650 xx5430 xx7650 I had me a man in summertime He had summer-colored skin XX5430 XX7650 And not another girl in town My darling's heart could win

^DBut when the leaves fell o^Cn the ground, and D C E 022130 Bully winds came around, pushed them face down in the snow A G 007650 He got the urge for going And I had to let him go

He g^Got the ur^Dge for go^Aing, When the me^Gadow gr^Dass was tu^Arning brown S^Gummerti^Dme was fal^Aling down and wi^Anter was c^Glosing ^Ain

xx7650 xx5430 xx7650 Now the warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout xx5430 xx7650 And all that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out

^DSee the geese in ch^Cevron flight D C E 02213 flapping and a-racing on before the snow They've ^Agot the urge for go^Ging, 007650 & they've got the wings so they can go

They g^Get the ur^Dge for ^Agoing When the me^Gadow g^Drass is t^Aurning brown Su^Gmmerti^Dme is f^Aalling down and wi^Anter is c^Glosing ^Ain (REPEAT INTRO)

xx7650 xx5430 007650 I'll ply the fire with kindling now I'll pull the blankets up to my chin 005430 007650 I'll lock the vagrant winter out and bolt my wandering in

^DI'd like to call back s^Cummertime and D C E 022130 have her stay for just another month or so A G 007650 But she's got the urge for going so I guess she'll have to go

She g^Gets the ur^Dge for go^Aing when the mea^Gdow gra^Dss is t^Aurning brown And al^Gl her emp^Dire's fal^Aling down wi^Anters c^Glosing i^An. I ^Gget the u^Drge for go^Aing when the me^Gadow gra^Dss is tur^Aning brown su^Gmmerti^Dme is fa^Alling down. (INTRO)
