[G] [A]
[C] [G]
Summer was gone, the heat died [D] down
[G] And autumn reached for her golden [D] crown
[E] [G] I looked behind [C] as I heard her [G] sigh
But this was the [A] time [C] of [G] no reply
The [A] [C] [G]
sun went down and the crowd [D] went home
[G] I was left by the roadside all [D] alone
[C] [G] Turned to speak as [Am] they [G] went by
But this [C#] was the [Cm] time of [G] no reply
The [A]
[C] [G]
[F] time of no reply [G] is calling [Gm] me to stay
[G] There's no hello [D] and no goodbye
[D#] To leave [D] there is no way
The [G] trees on the hill had nothing [D] to say
They would keep their [G] dreams till another [D] day
[C] [G] So they stood and thought [C] and wondered [G] why
For this [F#m] was the [Cm] time of [G] no reply
[A]
[C] [G] Time goes by from year to [D] year
[G] And no one asks why I'm standing [D] here
[C] But [G] I have my [E] answer as [Gm] I look to [G] the sky
This is [A] the time [C] of [G] no reply
The
[A] [C]
[G]
[F] time of no reply [G] is calling me to [F] stay
There's [G] no [C] hello [D] and no goodbye
[D#] To [A#] leave [D] there is no way
[G] Summer was gone and the heat died [D] down
[G] And autumn reached for her golden [D] crown
[C] I [G] looked behind [C] as I heard her [G] sigh
But this was the [C#] time [C] of [G] no reply
