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
