INTRO: G
C D
Across the road, down at the bottom of the field
G C G
There's a rusty tractor, used to read “John Deere”
C D
It's been there since my daddy's daddy was a boy
G C G
The engine quit and there she sits, like an old forgotten toy
C D
Further on down where the white birches grow
G C G
Grandpa used to take me for his favourite evening show
C D
He said he liked to watch the leaves fall from the trees
G Am
I kinda think he just liked being with me
BRIDGE:
C G Am
I used to think that time was something that never changed
C G Am
I used to think that life was always easy
C G Am
Now I know that seasons change and so must I
D G C
And I've grown to love November skies
CHORUS:
D G ~ Em C
November skies, smile down on me
D G C
Let the winds of change come set me free
D G ~ Em
November skies, try to ease my tired mind
C D G
But I know that the winter winds aren't far behind
C D
I used to tag along while Grandpa did his chores
G C G
I still remember wrestling with that squeaky old barn door
C D
Seems I'd always end up getting in his way
G
He'd just shake his head and smile and he always let me stay
BRIDGE:

Now I know that seasons change and so must I
D G C
And I've grown to love November skies
CHORUS:
D G ~ Em C
November skies, smile down on me
D G C
Let the winds of change come set me free
D G ~ Em
November skies, try to ease my tired mind
C D G ~ Em
But I know that the winter winds aren't far behind
C D G C G
Yes, I know that the winter winds aren't far behind
