Dm                             C
Time, time, time, see what's become of me
       Bb
While I looked around
            Am
For my possibilities
         C
I was so hard to please
            Dm                C
But look around, leaves are brown
          Bb      A7            Dm
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

                   C
Hear the salvation army band
Bb
Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around, the grass is high
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life

Bb                            F     Fmaj7
Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
                  C9
Weaving time in a tapestry
                     Dm A7   Dm
Won't you stop and remember me
C
  At any convenient time
Bb
Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime
But look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground...
