October Song Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[G]

[VERSE]
I'll sing you [F]this Oc[Am]tober [G]song
There is [D7]no song be[G]fore it
The words and [F]tune are [Am]none of my [G]own
For my [D7]joys and sorrows [G]bore it

[VERSE]
Beside the [F]sea, the [Am]brambly [G]briars
[D7]In the still of [G]evening
Birds fly [F]out be[Am]hind the [G]sun
And [D7]with them I'll be [G]leaving

[VERSE]
The fallen [F]leaves that [Am]jewel the [G]ground
They [D7]know the art of [G]dying
And leave with [F]joy their [Am]glad gold [G]hearts
In the [D7]scarlet shadows [G]lying

[VERSE]
When hunger [F]calls my [Am]footsteps [G]home
The [D7]morning follows [G]after
I swim the [F]seas with[Am]in my [G]mind
And the [D7]pine trees laugh green [G]laughter

[VERSE]
I used to [F]search for [Am]happi[G]ness
And I [D7]used to follow [G]pleasure
But I found a [F]door be[Am]hind my [G]mind
And [D7]that's the greatest [G]treasure

[VERSE]
For rulers [F]like to [Am]lay down [G]laws
And [D7]rebels like to [G]break them
And the poor priests [F]like to [Am]walk in [G]chains
And [D7]god likes to for[G]sake them [D] [G]

[VERSE]
I met a [F]man whose [Am]name was [G]Time
And he [D7]said I must be [G]going
But just how [F]long a[Am]go that [G]was
I [D7]have no way of [G]knowing

[VERSE]
Sometimes I [F]want to [Am]murder [G]Time
Some[D7]times when my heart's [G]aching
But mostly [F]I just [Am]stroll a[G]long
The [D7]path that he is [G]taking
