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Of unpublished rhyme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
