The fall is so fresh but I'm still very sad 
A                       G   Em 
As the wind rustles my hair, oh, I feel so alive 
     C     Am                       C       Am 
The autumn colors whisper to my eyes, "Wake up"

So it's told, the pumpkin gourd whispers

"I am your orange king, time to rake them leaves"

"But I hate chores," I proclaim

A gentle tear rolls down my face as I weep to the king
