She dropped one stocking on the stairsG  
But the kettle it was Fcold
Her car just wasn't Cthere__G_C  
[Verse]
Her PD James had not been Gread
Still down beside her Fbed
My hands were looking Cold__G_C

She left a letter in the hallG  
She was leaving after Fall
There was nothing I could Csay__G_
[Chorus]
There'll be Ftime enough for Winter in the CWintertime
Watch the Fflowers from your window in the GSpring
There'll be Csky enough for Fsunshine in the CSummertime
But for Fnow Autumn's the only song to Csing

Ground coffee on the shelfG  
Said that I should help myFself
And money for the Cphone__G_C  
[Verse]
She even swept the kitchen floorG  
The key behind the Fdoor
Hanging there Calone__G_

They were Fup all night, little fightsC  
Never wrongs and always rights
"FDon’t do this" is "Can't do that"
At Gevery single turnC

That might just prove a little muchF  
We'd be better on our Cown__G_C

Watch the Fflowers from your window in the GSpring
There'll be Csky enough for Fsunshine in the CSummertime

For Fnow Autumn's the only song to CsingF  C  Cadd9  C
