Fm         Gm  
So much confusion 
Fm               Gm   
When autumn comes around 
        Ab          Eb7M 
What to do about October 
       Ab             Bb 
How to smile behind a frown? 
                Eb+7 
It's hard to settle down 

Fm        Gm    
It's so bemusing 
Fm                     Gm 
Will they cancel the parade? 
    Ab            Eb7M 
We marched each October 
         Ab                     Bb  
Now they say we were never even saved 
           Eb7M 
We must be very brave 

Cm         Dm      Em  
Shall I rewrite or revise 
     F 
My October symphony? 
   Fm        Eb7M 
Or as an indication 
Dm            Cm 
Change the dedication 
      Bb                Eb7M 
From revolution to revelation? 

So we're all drinking 
As leaves fall to the ground 
Because we've been thinking 
How October's let us down 
Then and now 

Shall we remember 
December instead? 
Or worry about February? 
Mourn our war-torn dead 
Never seeing red? 

Cm         Dm      Em  
Shall I rewrite or revise 
     F 
My October symphony? 
   Fm        Eb7M 
Or as an indication 
Dm            Cm 
Change the dedication 
      Bb                Eb7M 
From revolution to revelation?
