Incredible String Band ~ October Song chords

[C#]
[B] [F#]
I'll sing you this October song, oh there is [C#] no song before [D#m] it.
The words and tune are none of my own, for my joys and sorrows bore it.
Beside the sea, [E] though [F#] of rambly briars in the still of evening,
birds fly out behind the sun and with them I'll be leaving.
The [C#]
[B] [F#]
[C#] [F#]
[C#] fallen leaves [F#] that jewel the ground, they know the art of dying,
and leave with joy their glad gold hearts in the scarlet shadows lying.
When hunger calls my footsteps home, the morning follows after.
I swim [B] the seas within [F#] my mind, and the pine trees laugh green laughter.
[C#]
[B] [F#]
I used to search for happiness, and I used to follow pleasure.
But I found a door behind my mind, and that's the greatest treasure.
For rulers like
[C#m] to [G] lay [F#] down laws, and rebels like to break them.
And the poor priests like to walk in chains, and God likes to forsake them.
[C#]
[B] [F#]
I met [B] a man [D#m] whose name [F#] was Time, and he said I must be going.
But just how long ago that was, [C#] I have no [F#] way of knowing.
Sometimes I [C#m] want [F#] to murder Time, sometimes [C#] when my heart's [F#] aching.
But mostly I just stroll along the path that he is taking.
[C#] [B]
