Introdução: F Fm7 Fdim C C/B Am Am/G D Dm7 G7 C Fdim C
Fdim C Am
When I was a young man acourtin' the girls,
Fdim C
I played me a waitin' game;
Fdim C Am
If a maid refused me with a toss of her curls,
F G C Am
I'd let the ol' world take a couple of twirls,
F C Am
And I'd ply her with tears instead of pearls,
Fdim C Am
And as time came around she came my way,
Fdim G G7
As time came around, she came.

But it's a long, long time from May to December,
Am/G D7 Dm7 G7 C Fdim C

When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame,
Am/G D Dm7 G7 C Fdim C
One hasn't got time for the waiting game.

Fdim C Am
When you meet with the young men in the early Spring
Fdim C
They'll court you with wine and with song
Fdim C Am
They'll woo you with words and a clover ring
F G C Am
But if you examine the goods that they bring
F Fdim C Am
They have little to offer but the songs that they sing
Fdim C Am Fdim G G7
And a plentiful waste of time of day. A plentiful waste of time
F Fm7 Fdim C C/B Am
