[A#] This is the spot in [C] the show where I do a song that I've recorded over the last 10 years because [G] this is my 10th anniversary [Am] as a singer.
This [Em] is a song from [F] 1968 called, The Autumn of My Life.
[G]
[C] In the [Bm] spring of [Am] my life, [F] she came [C] to me.
She brought [Em] sunshine [Am] where [C] winter [D] winds had blown.
[G]
[C] Then I took her for [Bm] my wife [Am] in the spring of [C] my [E] life.
[Am] And she brought [C] me [G] a joy [C] I'd never known.
[Em]
[A] [D] And the [F#m] years, they [Bm] went by [G] in the spring of [D] my life.
And in [F#m] summer, [Bm] she blessed [D] me [Em] with a child.
[A]
[D] Love continued [F#m] to grow [G] in the summer of [D] my [F#] life.
[Bm] And in [D] every [A] morning sun, [D] I saw her smile.
[Dm]
[G] [C] But in the autumn [Am] of my years, [F] I noticed [C] the tears.
And I [Em] knew that [Am] our life [Em] [Dm] was in the [G] past.
Though [C] I tried [Em] to pretend, [F] I knew it [C] was the end.
[E] [Am] For the [G] autumn of my life had [C] come at last.
[Em]
[A] [D] Now what, [F#m] what [Bm] do you say [G] to a child [D] of ten?
How do you tell [F#m] him [Bm] his [A] daddy's gone [Em] away?
[A]
Do [D] I tell him [F#m] that I [G] reached the autumn of [D] my
[F#] life?
[Bm] And that [D] he'll [A] understand, [D] some winter's day.
[Dm]
[G] [C] Now a [Em] rose [Am] can't be found on [F] a snow [C]-covered ground.
And the [Em] sun cannot [A] shine [Em] through [Dm] cloudy sky.
[G]
But [C] I'm richer, [Em] you see, [F] for the years she gave [C] to [E] me.
And [Am] I'm content [C] [G] in the autumn of [C] my life.
