Autumn

Words & Music:

Dan Hartman

 

This is a lost classic by The Edgar Winter Group.  Kentam99's chords seem a bit unorthodox, but they sound quite close to the Edgar Winter Group version.  Enjoy.

 

Chords used:

Cs    = x 3 2 x 3 x     FM7s = x x 3 2 1 3      C   = x 3 2 x 1 x

C/B   = x 2 x x 1 x     Am   = x x 2 2 1 x      Am7 = x x 3 x 1 x

Am7/G = 3 x 2 x 1 x     G    = 3 2 x x x 3      G/B = 2 x x x x 3

Em    = x 2 2 x x x     Em7  = x 2 x x x x      Dm  = x x x 2 3 1

 

Notes from kentam99:  "During the intro, he hammers the B and D string going back and forth between the Cs and FM7s.   If you use these chords and play along with it, you should get it."

 

Cs               FM7s

Autumn, the wind blows colder than summer.

The buildings look tall and gray.

The birds flying haven't much to say.

They all know that it's coming again.

So, I guess they'll stay here in New England for Autumn, Autumn...
