September Of My Years
Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & Jimmy Van Heusen
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1965
A C#m7 D9 Bm7-5 E7
One day you turn around and it's summer,
A C#m7 D9 Dm6
Next day you turn around and it's fall;
E7 A C#m F#m F#m/E
And the springs and the winters of a lifetime --
D9 Dm6 Fdim D9 Dm6 E7 E7/6
Whatever happened to them all?
D9 Dm6 AM7 F#m AM7 C#m7-5 Bm7 Bm7-5
As a man who has always had the wand'ring ways,
E7/6 E7 Bm7-5 Dm6 F#m
Now I'm reaching back for yesterdays
E7 Bm7-5 Dm6 A AM7
'Til a long-forgotten love appears,
C#7 D Bm7 Cdim Dm6 A F#7
And I find that I'm sighing softly as I near
B7 B7/9 E7 E7/6 E7-9 Bm7-5 E7 AM7
Sep - tem - ber, the warm Sep - tem - ber of my years.
D9 Dm6 AM7 F#m AM7 C#m7-5 Bm7 Bm7-5
As a man who has never paused at wishing wells
E7/6 E7 Bm7-5 Dm6 F#m
Now I'm watch - ing children's car - ou - sels
E7 Bm7-5 Dm6 A AM7
And their laughter's music to my ears
C#7 D Bm7 Cdim Dm6 A F#7
And I find that I'm smiling gently as I near
B7 B7/9 E7 E7/6 E7-9 Bm7-5 E7 F#7
Sep - tem - ber, the warm Sep - tem - ber of my years
D9 D6 Fdim E7-9 E7 A D9 Dm6 AM7
The gol - den warm Sep - tem - ber of my years.
