_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Dm] _ Well I heard the [Gm] bells ringing, [F] I was thinking about when,
[Bb] in this godforsaken place, _ _ _ [F] when my confidence is well, then I tripped and I fell, [A] right [Bb] flat on my face. _ _
_ Now [F] I'm standing erect, and I feel like coming back, [Am] and the [Bb] sun is shining gold. _ _
_ [Dm] Put a smile on my [F] face, get back in the human race, [A] and get [Bb] on with the show. _ _
_ [G] And [C] I'm taking in the Indian [Bb] summer, _ _ [C] and I'm soaking it up in [Bb] my mind, _ _ [C] and I'm pretending that it's [Bb]
paradise.
What a [F] golden autumn day, _ _ _ _ [Bb] what a golden [F] autumn day, _ _ _ what a golden autumn day, _ _ _ what a golden autumn day.
_ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] Now when we met and I lost, I was parking my car in [Bb] this dimly lit town. _ _
_ I [F] was attacked by two thugs, who took me for a moose, 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 swapped us for the same. _ _
_ [F] Well, this is no New [F] York street, and there's no [Dm] 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.

[C] _ You [F] would think this could happen in a city like this, among [Bb] Blake's green and pleasant hills. _ _
_ [Dm] But [F] we must remember, [Dm] as we go through [F] September, among [Bb] these toxic chemicals. _ _
_ Only [F] for such a thing as this, I can't take them out and float them [Bb] in the nearest greenfield. _
_ _ [F] Now that might be the lesson to the leaders of the system [Bb] in this whole [F] society. _ _
_ And [C] I'm taking it, the end [Bb] of summer.
And [C] I'm soaking it up in my [Bb] mind.
_ And [C] I'm pretending like it's [Bb] paradise.
On a [C] golden autumn [F] day. _ _ _ _
On a golden autumn day. _ _ _
On a golden autumn day.

Golden autumn day.
_ Sing it. _
Golden autumn day.
Sing it. _ _
