*from 'Back On Top' (1999)*
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:
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[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:
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[C]

C Bbmaj7 (x4)
F Bbmaj7 (x3), F 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:
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]
