Intro:
F Am, Bbmaj7 (x2)
Verse 1:
F
Well, I heard the bells ringing,
Am Bbmaj7
I was thinking about winning, in this God forsaken place.
F
When my confidence was well,
Am Bbmaj7
Then I tripped and I fell, right flat on my face.
F
Now I'm standing erect,
Am Bbmaj7
And I feel like coming back and the sun is shining gold.
F
Put a smile on my face,
Am Bbmaj7
Get back in the human race and get on with the show.
Bridge 1:
C Bbmaj7
And I'm taking in the Indian Summer,
C Bbmaj7
And I'm soaking it up in my mind.
C Bbmaj7
And I'm pre-tending, that it's para-dise...
Chorus 1:
F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day.
F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day.
F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day.
F C
On a golden Autumn day.
Verse 2:
F
In the wee midnight hour,
Am Bbmaj7
I was parking my car, in this dimly lit town.
F
I was at-tacked by two thugs,
Am Bbmaj7
Who took me for a mug and shoved me down on the ground.
F
And they pulled out a knife,
Am Bbmaj7
And I fought my way up as they scarpered from the scene.
F
Well, this is no New York street,
Am Bbmaj7
And there's no Bobby on the beat and things ain't just what they seem.
Bridge 2:
C Bbmaj7
And I'm taking in the Indian Summer,
C Bbmaj7
And I'm soaking it up in my mind.
C Bbmaj7
And I'm pre-tending, that it's para-dise...

Verse 3:
F
Who would think this could happen,
Am Bbmaj7
In a city like this, among Blake's green and pleasant hills?
F
And we must remember,
Am Bbmaj7
As we go through September, among these dark satanic mills.
F
If there's such a thing as justice,
Am Bbmaj7
I could take them out and flog them, in the nearest green field.
F
And it might be a lesson,
Am Bbmaj7
To the bleeders of the system, in this whole society.
Bridge 3:
C Bbmaj7
And I'm taking in the Indian Summer,
C Bbmaj7
And I'm soaking it up in my mind.
C Bbmaj7
And I'm pre-tending, that it's para-dise...
