The First Leaves Of Autumn

	  		
Verse 

C 
As the daylight turns to starlight 
        F               G 
And the seasons turn to change 
  C 
I get the same old answers 
        F                 G 
But the question still remains 
                            F 
We shared a brief but magic song 
       G               F 
By the first leaves of autumn 
         C 
You were gone 


C             F        G          C 
Not until the rain had touched my face 
              F            G         C 
Not until the first leaves fell from space 
               F      G     Am 
Not until that moment did I see 
  C        F              G7    G  C 
I never realised what you meant to me

Verse 
C                             F 
From the days you filled with sunlight 
                       G 
To the laughter in you eyes 
       C              F 
To the making and the breaking 
                       G 
Of the day you said goodbye 
                            F 
We shared a brief but magic song 
       G               F 
By the first leaves of autumn 
         C 
You were gone 

 
C             F        G        C 
Not until the hearts defence is down 
               F        G            C 
Not until some old come all ye comes round 
               F      G     Am 
Not until that moment did I see 
C        F              G7    G  C 
Never realised what you meant to me 

C             F        G          C 
Not until the rain had touched my face 
              F            G         C 
Not until the first leaves fell from space 
               F      G     Am 
Not until that moment did I see 
  C        F              G7    G  Am 
I never realised what you meant to me 
  C        F              G7    G  C 
I never realised what you meant to me
