(verse)
D G Sitting here in Avalon, looking at the pouring rain D G Summertime has come and gone and everybody's home again A C G Closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs A C G I can still taste the wedding cake and it's sweet after all these years
(chorus)
G C D These are the last words I have to say C D That's why it took so long to write C D There will be other words some other day C D But that's the story of my life
(verse)
D G There's comfort in my coffee cup and apples in the early fall D G They're pulling all the moorings up and gathering at the Legion Hall A C G They swept away all the streamers after the Labor Day parade A C G There's Nothing left for a dreamer now, only one final serenade
(chorus)
G C D And these are the last words I have to say C D Before another age goes by C D With all those other songs I'll have to play C D A G But that's the story of my life
(bridge)
G C G D And it's so clear standing here where I am F C G Ain't that what justice is for? Bb F Bb C G D Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn anymore
