[Bb]
[F] Well I heard the bells ringing I was thinking about when
[Bb] This God forsaken place [F] When my confidence is well
Then I tripped and I fell [Bb] Right flat on my face
Now I'm [F] standing erect And I feel like coming back
And the [Bb] sun is shining gold Put [F] a smile on my face
Get back in the human race [A] And get [Bb] on with the show
[C] And I'm taking in the Indian [Bb] summer [C] And I'm soaking it up in my [Bb] mind
And [C] I'm pretending that it's [Bb] paradise What a [F] golden autumn day
[Bb] What a golden autumn [F] day What a golden autumn day
What a golden autumn day
[C]
[F] Now when we met now, love I was packing my coat
In [Bb] this dimly lit town I [F] was attacked by two thugs
Who took me from earth And [Bb] shoved me down on the ground
[Dm] [F] And they pulled out a knife And I fought my way out
As [Bb] they scarped me from the scene Well [F] this is no New York street
And [Dm] there's no Bobby [F] on the beat And [Bb] things ain't just what they seem
[F] [C] And I'm taking in the [Bb] Indian summer [C] And I'm soaking it up in [Bb] my mind
And [C] I'm pretending that it's [F]
paradise [Bb] What a golden [F] autumn day
What a golden autumn day What a golden autumn day
What a golden autumn day

[A] [Bb]
[F] Who
[Bb] [F]
[C] [F] would think this could happen In a city like this
Among [Bb] Blake's green and pleasant hills
[Dm] [F] But we must remember [Dm] As we go through [F] September
Among [Bb] these dark satanic hills
Only [F] if there's such a thing as justice I could take them out and flog them
[Bb] In the nearest green field
[F] Now that might be the lesson To the leaders of the system
[Bb] In this whole society
[F]
[C] And I'm taking in the [Bb] Indian summer [C] And I'm soaking it up in [Bb] my mind
And [C] I'm pretending that it's [Bb]
paradise
What a golden [F] autumn day
What a golden autumn day
What a golden autumn [Dm] day

Alright
What a golden autumn day Sing it
Golden autumn day Sing it
Golden autumn day
Sing it
Golden on a day, on a golden on a day.
