INTRO: G D G

            D G
When fall comes to New England
  C     G   D
The sun slants in so fine
    C    G       D   Em
And the air’s so clear you can almost hear
  C   ~  Am   D
The grapes grow on the vine



  G           D  G
The nights are sharp with starlight
    C    G    D    C
And the days are cool and clean
      G    D  G   C
And in the blue sky overhead
       G     D    G    C
The northern geese fly south instead
        G   D/F#  Em
And leaves are Irish Setter red
   C     G   D G   D G
When fall comes to New England

            D G
When fall comes to New England
    C     G    D  C
And the wind blows off the sea
     G    D    Em
Swallows fly in a perfect sky
    C   ~  Am    D
And the world was meant to be


     G        D  G
When the acorns line the walkways
   C   G    D  C
Then winter can’t be far
      G    D    G   C
From yellow leaves a blue jay calls
       G    D    G    C
Grandmothers walk out in their shawls
       G    D/F#   Em
And chipmunks run the old stone walls
   C     G   D G   D G
When fall comes to New England



BRIDGE:
  C    ~   Am
The frost is on the pumpkin
  Em    D    G
The squash is off the vine
  C   ~    Am       D
And winter warnings race across the sky
  C       ~  Am
The squirrels are onto something
      Em   D  G
And they’re working overtime
  C   ~     Am       D
The foxes blink and stare and so do I


      G         D G
’Cause when fall comes to New England
  C    G   D   C
Oh, I can’t turn away
      G    D   G   C
From fading light on flying wings
       G   D   G    C
And late goodbyes a robin sings
      G   D/F#   Em
And then another thousand things
   C     G   D/F# Em
When fall comes to New Eng--land
   C     G   D G
