Leafboy’s Lament

[Intro] G  Em

G                     Em
Today I realized it's not my birthday
C                        Am              C#°  C
The fall is so fresh but I'm still very sad
A                       G   Em
As the wind rustles my hair, oh, I feel so alive
     C     Am                       C       Am
The autumn colors whisper to my eyes, "Wake up"

G                 C                 Am
So it's told, the pumpkin gourd whispers
            D            G                C
"I am your orange king, time to rake them leaves"
     Am              A     D
"But I hate chores," I proclaim
G                 C
"No worries," the king says

     Am                       D
"The leaf police will be here soon"
G               C          Am              D
Officer Arbor arrives, he places me in the cuffs
  G                 D                 A           D
A gentle tear rolls down my face as I weep to the king
G                                   C                Am
He says "Hush, child, just rake the leaves, rake them
D                    G
Just rake the leaves
