D G
D G
(verse)
DSitting here in Avalon, Glooking at the pouring rain
DSummertime has come and gone Gand everybody's home again
AClosing down for the season, I found the Clast of the souveGnirs
AI can still taste the wedding cake and it's Csweet after all these Gyears
(chorus)
GThese are the Clast words I Dhave to say
CThat's why it took so long to Dwrite
CThere will be other words some Dother day
CBut that's the story of my Dlife
(verse)
DThere's comfort in my coffee cup Gand apples in the early fall
DThey're pulling all the moorings up Gand gathering at the Legion Hall
AThey swept away all the streamers after the CLabor Day paGrade
AThere's Nothing left for a dreamer now, only Cone final sereGnade
(chorus)
GAnd these are the Clast words I Dhave to say
CBefore another age goes Dby
CWith all those other songs I'll Dhave to play
CBut that's the story of my DlifAe G
(bridge)
GAnd it's so Cclear standing Ghere where I Dam
FAin't that what Cjustice is Gfor'
BbFrankly, my Fdear, I Bbdon't Cgive a Gdamn anyDmore
(verse - 1st und 2nd line instrumental)
D G
D G
AStack the chairs on the table tops, hang the Csheets on the chandeGliers
AIt slows down but it never stops, ain't it Csweet after all these Gyears
(chorus)
GAnd these are the Clast words I Dhave to say
CIt's always hard to say goodDbye
CBut now it's time to put this Dbook away
CBut that's the story of my Dlife
(chorus)
GThese are the Clast words I Dhave to say
CThat's why it took so long to Dwrite
CThere will be other words some Dother day
CAin't that the story of my Dlife
(chorus)
GThese are the Clast words I Dhave to say
CBefore another age goes Dby
CWith all those other songs I'll Dhave to play
CAin't that the story of my Dlife
(chorus - instrumental fade out)
