*from 'Back On Top' (1999)*
Intro:
F Am, Bbmaj7 (x2)
Verse 1:
F
Well I heard the bells ringing,
Am
I was thinking about winning,
Bbmaj7
In this God forsaken place.
F
When my confidence was well,
Am
Then I tripped and I fell,
Bbmaj7
Right flat on my face.
F
Now I'm standing erect,
Am
And I feel like coming back,
Bbmaj7
And the sun is shining gold.
F
Put a smile on my face,
Am
Get back in the human race,
Bbmaj7
And get on with the show.
Bridge 1:
C
And I'm taking in,
Bbmaj7
The Indian Summer,
C
And I'm soaking it,
Bbmaj7
Up in my mind.
C
And I'm pre-tending,
Bbmaj7
That it's para-dise,
Chorus 1:
(Bbmaj7) F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day,
F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day.
(Bbmaj7) F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day,
F C
On a golden Autumn day.
Verse 2:
F
In the wee midnight hour,
Am
I was parking my car,
Bbmaj7
In this dimly lit town.
F
I was at-tacked by two thugs,
Am
Who took me for a mug,
Bbmaj7
And shoved me down on the ground.
F
And they pulled out a knife,
Am
And I fought my way up,
Bbmaj7
As they scarpered from the scene.
F
Well this is no New York street,
Am
And there's no Bobby on the beat,
Bbmaj7
And things ain't just what they seem.
Bridge 2:
C
And I'm taking in,
Bbmaj7
The Indian Summer,
C
And I'm soaking it,
Bbmaj7
Up in my mind.
C
And I'm pre-tending,
Bbmaj7
That it's para-dise,
Chorus 2:
(Bbmaj7) F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day,
F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day.
(Bbmaj7) F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day,
F C
On a golden Autumn day.

F Am, Bbmaj7 (x4)
C Bbmaj7 (x4)
F Bbmaj7 (x3)
F C
Verse 3:
F
Who would think this could happen,
Am
In a city like this?
Bbmaj7
Among Blake's green and pleasant hills.
F
And we must remember,
Am
As we go through September,
Bbmaj7
Among these dark satanic mills.
F
If there's such a thing as justice,
Am
I could take them out and flog them,
Bbmaj7
In the nearest green field.
F
And it might be a lesson,
Am
To the bleeders of the system,
Bbmaj7
In this whole society.
Bridge 3:
C
And I'm taking in,
Bbmaj7
The Indian Summer,
C
And I'm soaking it,
Bbmaj7
Up in my mind.
C
And I'm pre-tending,
Bbmaj7
That it's para-dise,
Chorus 3:
(Bbmaj7) F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day,
F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day.
(Bbmaj7) F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day,
F Bbmaj7
On a golden Autumn day.
