Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

Time, time, time, see what's become of me

 While I looked around

 For my possibilities

 I was so hard to please

Chorus

 But look around, leaves are brown

 And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Verse

 Hear the salvation army band

Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride

 Than what you've got planned

 Carry your cup in your hand

Chorus

 And look around you, leaves are brown now

 And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Verse

 Hang on to your hopes, my friend

That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away

 Then simply pretend

 That you can build them again

Chorus

 Look around, the grass is high

 The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life

Bridge

Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery

 Weaving time in a tapestry

 Won't you stop and remember me

At any convenient time

Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts

Of unpublished rhyme

 Drinking my vodka and lime

Chorus

 I look around, leaves are brown now

 And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Outro

 Look around, leaves are brown

 There's a patch of snow on the ground
