Words & music by Paul Simon 1966
Dm | |C |
Time, time, time, see what's become of me
|Bb | |Am |
While I looked around for my possibilities.
|C |
I was so hard to please.
|Dm
but look around,
|C
Leaves are brown,
|Bb |A7 |Dm |
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.
|C | |
Hear the Salvation Army band.
Bb
Down by the riverside,
|
it's bound to be a better ride
|Am |
Than what you've got planned.
|C |
Carry your cup in your hand.
|
|Dm
And look around,
|C
Leaves are brown,
|Bb |A7 |Dm |
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.
|C | |
Hang on to your hopes, my friend.
Bb
That's an easy thing to say,
| |
But if your hopes should pass away
Am | |C |
Simply pretend that you can build them again.
|Dm
Look around,
|C7
The grass is high,
|Bb7
The fields are ripe,
|A7 |Dm | |Bb |
It's the springtime of my life.
|F Fmaj7|
Seasons change with the scenery;
|C9 |
Weaving time in a tapestry.
|Dm A7 |Dm |
Won't you stop and remember me
C | |
At any convenient time?
Bb
Funny how my memory skips
|
While looking over manuscripts
|Am |
Of unpublished rhyme.
|C |
Drinking my vodka and lime,
|Dm
I look around,
|C7
Leaves are brown now,
|Bb7 |A7 |Dm
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.
|C
Look around,
|Bb7
Leaves are brown,
|A7 |Dm |
There`s a patch of snow on the ground
