Capo 2
[C] …Sweet [Am] Sunday afte[Dm] rnoon sep[G] tember's golden brown [C]
Summer [Am] always fades too [Dm] soon like the [G] laughter of a clown [C]
And [Am] shadows fill the [Dm] room where [G] sorrows come to drown [C]
Your [Am] heart's a lead balloon [Dm] …as you [G] sink another one [C] down
I know it [G] numbs the way you [Dm] feel
Blurs what is [G] right and what is [Dm] real
And there's no [Am] love left you can [G] steal
For the [F] joker laughs a[C] long and the [Am] jesters out[Dm] smarted
The [F] gambler tries to [Am] win back what he's [G] lost
And the [F] sad man sings a [C] song for the [Am] drunk and broken [Dm] hearted
And the [F] fool he never [G] knows how much it [C] costs
[C] …Sweet [Am] Sunday afte[Dm] rnoon and [G] all that can be heard [C]
Is an [Am] old familiar [Dm] tune though you've for[G] gotten half the words [C]
And [Am] sunlight floods the [Dm] room like a [G] silent flock of birds [C]
And [Am] hopes a red balloon [Dm] …Disap[G] pearing through the [C] clouds
I know it [G] numbs the way you [Dm] feel
Blurs what is [G] right and what is [Dm] real
And there's no [Am] love left you can [G] steal
For the [F] joker laughs a[C] long and the [Am] jesters out[Dm] smarted
The [F] gambler tries to [Am] win back what he's [G] lost
And the [F] sad man sings a [C] song for the [Am] drunk and broken [Dm] hearted
And the [F] fool he never [G] knows how much it [C] costs
