Verse
If you were coming in the fall,
I'd brush the summer by
C7 D
With half a smile and half a spurn,
G7 C7 D
As housewives do a fly.
G7
If I could see you in a year,
I'd wind the months in balls,
C7 D
And put them each in separate drawers,
G7 C7 D
Until their time befalls.
Chorus
Bm
If only centuries delayed,
Em C
I'd count them on my hand,
G D
Subtracting till my fingers dropped
G
Into Van Diemen's land.
Bm
If certain, when this life was out,
Em C
That yours and mine should be,
G D
I'd toss it yonder like a rind,
G
And taste eternity.
Outro
G7 - C7 - D
Verse
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/carla_bruni/if_you_were_coming_in_the_fall_crd.html ]
G7
But now, all ignorant of the length
Of time's uncertain wing,
C7 D
It goads me, like the goblin bee,
G7 C7 D
That will not state its sting
Chorus
Bm
If only centuries delayed,
Em C
I'd count them on my hand,
G D
Subtracting till my fingers dropped
G
Into Van Diemen's land.
Bm
If certain, when this life was out,
Em C
That yours and mine should be,
G D
I'd toss it yonder like a rind,
G
And taste eternity.
Please rate thanks!

And taste eternity.
But now, all ignorant of the length
Of time's uncertain wing,
It goads me, like the goblin bee,
