Autumn Tree Milo Greene
A great song that I have performed with my band many times and I use these chords.
Capo 4
Strumming pattern for most of the song is DUUDUU
Chords Used (frets relative to capo)
[C] [Em] [D] [Am] [G]
E-x--0--x--x--3-| A-3--2--5--0--2-| G-2--2--4--2--0-| D-0--0--0--2--0-| B-1--0--3--1--0-| e-0--0--0--0--3-|
(the D is a C chord moved up 2 frets)
Optional Intro (Not in Milo Greenes version but I add one)
C Em D C D (strum once then pause)
If you want to add a bit of interest to the chord progression I do the following:
For the first C flick on and off the B string every down strum after the first, Em same
with the flick off/on on the A string then with both the D and the second C use your
pinky on the high E string on the 5th fret for the D and the 3rd fret for the C with a
flick on and off.
Under the autumn[C] tree
The chair where you would[Em] swing
A yard so full o[D]f leaves[C]
[D]Comfort me
A man that resembles [C]me
Watching his young lady slee[Em]p
Now I'm off to[D] dream[C]
[D]Comfort me
[Am]Is this my old shape, my mind is aw[C]ay,
[G]How long have you been gone[D]
The col[Am]d winter aged the soft of you[C]r face
[D]And I cant move on
Instrumental with Ooo's
[C] [Em] [C] [Em]
My good mornin[C]g sun
Fish from an early h[Em]unt
I wait bu[D]t you're gone[C]
[D]Linger on
[Am]Is this my old shape, my mind is aw[C]ay,
[G]How long have you been gone[D]
The col[Am]d winter aged the soft of you[C]r face
[D]And I cant move on
[C]Linger on (Linger on)
[Em]Linger on (Linger on)
[D]I cant move on
This 'Linger On' section is repeated 4 times with the same chords with the chorus lyrics
and a changed melody sung on top and then Ooh's from this backing singer.
