D G D
i’ll sing you this october song ,
A7 D
oh , there is no song before it .
G D
the words and tune are none of my own ,
A7 D
for my joys and sorrows bore it .

D G
beside the sea
D A7 D
the brambly briars in the still of evening ,
G D
birds fly out behind the sun ,
A7 D
and with them i’ll leaving .

( the chord structure repites on every verse )

the fallen leaves that jewel the ground ,
they know the art of dying ,
and leave with joy their glad gold hearts ,
in the scarlet shadows lying .

when hunger calls my footsteps home ,
the morning follows after ,
i swim the seas within my mind ,
and the pine – trees laugh green laughter .

i used to search for happiness ,
and i used to follow pleasure ,
but i found a door behind my mind ,
and that’s the greatest treasure .

for rulers like to lay down laws ,
and rebels like to break them ,
and the poor priests like to walk in chains ,
and god likes to forsake the .

i met a man whose name was time ,
and he said , “i must be goin , ”
but just how long ago that was ,
i have no way of knowing .

sometimes i want to murder time ,
sometimes when my heart’s aching ,
but mostly i just stroll along ,
the path that he is taking .

i personally recommend the corries’s version for a more structured way to play
this song , look it up .
