[Verse 1]
G      Dm7         G            Dm7
 I was born into a simple life
G            Dm7          G      G7
 Didn't take much to satisfy me
C           Am7            G      G7
 Then there came a time in autumn
         Dm7    G  G7
I had to leave


[Verse 2]
G        Dm7          G        Dm7
Tried to get a job in Alabama
G            Dm7                    G          G7
 But the man said he didn't need no one today
C          Am7         G        G7
 I made my way down to Memphis
    Dm7          G      G7
And stayed a few days


[Verse 2]
G      Dm7            G      Dm7
 Got a letter from my Momma
G          Dm7                       G     G7
 She said "Boy won't you try to come home
C           Am7                G             G7
 Your Daddy said he'd give you all the land
    Dm7            G           G7
For your own, come on home"


[Verse 4]
G                 Dm7         G             Dm7
But there comes a time in everybody's life
G                 Dm7                 G      G7
 When you have to search for peace of mind
C              Am7    G          G7
 I might go to Aspen, Colorado
    Dm7               G               G7
And spend some time I hear it's fine

[Verse 5]
G                  Dm7             G       Dm7
When the leaves of autumn start to turnin'
G              Dm7           G       G7
 And one falls softly to the ground
C       Am7               G       G7
 I have thoughts of other places
     Dm7            G      G7
Some new town to be found
