Golden Autumn Day Van Morrison
Intro:
F Am, Bbmaj7 (x2)
Verse 1:
Well I [F]heard,
The bells ringing,
I was [Am]thinking,
About winning,
In this [Bbmaj7]God,
Forsaken place.
When my [F]confidence,
Was well,
Then I [Am]tripped,
And I fell,
Right [Bbmaj7]flat,
On my face.
Now I'm [F]standing,
Erect,
And I [Am]feel,
Like coming back,
And the [Bbmaj7]sun,
Is shining gold.
Put a [F]smile,
On my face,
Get back [Am]in,
The human race,
And get [Bbmaj7]on,
With the show.
Bridge 1:
And I'm [C]taking in,
The Indian [Bbmaj7]Summer,
And I'm [C]soaking it,
Up in my [Bbmaj7]mind.
And I'm pre-[C]tending,
That it's para-[Bbmaj7]dise,
Chorus 1:
[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden,
Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden,
Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden,
Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden,
Autumn [F]day.[C]
Verse 2:
In the [F]wee,
Midnight hour,
I was [Am]parking,
My car,
In this [Bbmaj7]dimly,
Lit town.
I was at-[F]tacked,
By two thugs,
Who [Am]took me,
For a mug,
And shoved me,
[Bbmaj7] Down on,
The ground.
And they [F]pulled,
Out a knife,
And I [Am]fought,
My way up,
As they [Bbmaj7]scarpered,
From the scene.
Well this is [F]no,
New York street,
And there's no,
[Am] Bobby on the beat,
And things,
Ain't [Bbmaj7]just,
What they seem.
Bridge 2:
And I'm [C]taking in,
The Indian [Bbmaj7]Summer,
And I'm [C]soaking it,
Up in my [Bbmaj7]mind.
And I'm pre-[C]tending,
That it's para-[Bbmaj7]dise,
Chorus 2:
[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden,
Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden,
Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden,
Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden,
Autumn [F]day.[C]

Verse 3:
Who would [F]think,
This could happen,
In a [Am]city like this?
Among Blake's [Bbmaj7]green,
And pleasant hills.
And we [F]must,
Remember as we [Am]go,
Through September,
Among these [Bbmaj7]dark,
Satanic mills.
If there's [F]such,
A thing as justice,
I could [Am]take them,
Out and flog them,
In the [Bbmaj7]nearest,
Green field.
And it [F]might be,
A lesson to,
The [Am]bleeders,
Of the system,
In this [Bbmaj7]whole,
Society.
Bridge 3:
And I'm [C]taking in,
The Indian [Bbmaj7]Summer,
And I'm [C]soaking it,
Up in my [Bbmaj7]mind.
And I'm pre-[C]tending,
That it's para-[Bbmaj7]dise,
Chorus 3:
[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden,
Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden,
Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden,
Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden,
Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
