Intro: AABm
The summertime's escaping, and the carnival's away,
ABm
And the sunshine is awaiting for another sunny day.
CEFGA
Breakers whisper to the shells upon the shore,
GA
And hear the seagulls they cry for more.
GA
And hear the gulls they cry for more.
ABm
Good day to you sweet autumn, so gently you appear.
ABm
Why I never even realised those rustic times were near.
CEFGA
The moment's change from a dusty green to gold,
GA
The summer fair she has grown old
GA
The summer fair she has grown old
ABm
And away in the blue of the skies and over the trees
ABm
How the carnival flies on the wings of a breeze.
CEFGA
You've had your time and now it's mine for me to go,
GA
These colder days they move too slow.
GA
These older days they move too slow.
solo (Verse chords)
ABm
So the summertime is leaving, and the carnival's away,
ABm
So the sunshine is relieving us of all our sunny days.
CEFGA
But I'll be waiting for to greet your fleeting calls,
GA
So come back soon the carnival.
GA
Come back soon the carnival.
Bm
Come back soon (background voice: "carnival") (repeat many times to fade)
