When fall comes to New England
    C          G     D
The sun slants in so fine
        C        G             D      Em
And the air's so clear you can almost hear
    C      ~    Am     D
The grapes grow on the vine
    G                     D   G
The nights are sharp with starlight
        C        G        D       C
And the days are cool and clean
           G        D   G      C
And in the blue sky overhead
             G         D       G       C
The northern geese fly south instead
               G     D/Gb   Em
And leaves are Irish Setter red
     C          G      D  G      D  G
When fall comes to New England
                       D  G
When fall comes to New England
        C          G       D    C
And the wind blows off the sea
         G        D       Em
Swallows fly in a perfect sky
        C     ~   Am       D
And the world was meant to be
         G               D   G
When the acorns line the walkways
     C      G        D    C
Then winter can't be far
            G        D        G      C
From yellow leaves a blue jay calls
             G        D        G       C
Grandmothers walk out in their shawls
              G       D/Gb      Em
And chipmunks run the old stone walls
     C          G      D  G      D  G
When fall comes to New England
Bridge:
    C        ~      Am
The frost is on the pumpkin
    Em        D       G
The squash is off the vine
    C      ~        Am              D
And winter warnings race across the sky
    C             ~    Am
The squirrels are onto something
            Em      D   G
And they're working overtime
    C     ~         Am              D
The foxes blink and stare and so do I
            G                 D  G
'Cause when fall comes to New England
    C       G     D     C
Oh, I can't turn away
            G        D      G      C
From fading light on flying wings
             G      D     G       C
And late goodbyes a robin sings
           G     D/Gb     Em
And then another thousand things
     C          G      D/Gb Em
When fall comes to New Eng--land
