GWell I
GLowered the flag and broke in my back
Gave up singing to ChumG  
GAnd went away to the forest to fall
Where everything's called to be Cborn againG  
[Chorus]
Gmaj7Oh, the autumn leaves, saw them sweep the sky
For a Gmaj7holy unsentimental while
G6Thought that mother nature had smiled on me
Come to Gmaj7find out she's always showing her teeth
CCut from the low lands, back to the old plan
DSpent my minutes like I hadn't given up

GWell I'm
GScattered and close, and heavily dosed
By my ego sCo muchG  
GI saw again, how you can steady your hand
But a shadow still lands on anything you CtouchG  
[Chorus]
Gmaj7Oh, the autumn leaves don't shake at all
Once they Gmaj7give up on the branch they hold
G6Yeah there's nothing wrong with a quiver, I guess
Pretty Gmaj7soon you're gonna have to get on with it
COff with the old skin, back to the medicine
DLate small minutes that I haven't given up
[Riff x1]

[Outro]
CYeah you cut from the low lands, back to the old plan
DSpend my minutes while I can, just telling you

That if you're Cwatching me all night almost fall
My Dlate small minutes that I haven't given up

[Intro]

G C

[Verse]

Well I

Lowered the flag and broke in my back

C G

Gave up singing to hum

And went away to the forest to fall

C G

Where everything's called to be born again

[Chorus]

Gmaj7

Oh, the autumn leaves, saw them sweep the sky

Gmaj7

For a holy unsentimental while

Thought that mother nature had smiled on me

Gmaj7

Come to find out she's always showing her teeth

Cut from the low lands, back to the old plan

Spent my minutes like I hadn't given up

[Riff x2]

G C

[Verse]

Well I'm

Scattered and close, and heavily dosed

C G

By my ego so much

I saw again, how you can steady your hand

C G

But a shadow still lands on anything you touch

[Chorus]

Gmaj7

Oh, the autumn leaves don't shake at all

Gmaj7

Once they give up on the branch they hold

Yeah there's nothing wrong with a quiver, I guess

Gmaj7

Pretty soon you're gonna have to get on with it

Off with the old skin, back to the medicine

Late small minutes that I haven't given up

[Riff x1]

[Outro]

Yeah you cut from the low lands, back to the old plan

Spend my minutes while I can, just telling you

[Riff x1]

[Outro]

That if you're watching me all night almost fall

My late small minutes that I haven't given up

[Riff x4]
