Song: Autumn almanac (Live acoustic version) Artist: Ray Davies / The Kinks Composer: Ray Davies Tabbed by DJ 29th Sept 2016 NOTE: If you want to play this song in the original Kinks key of Bm, use a capo at the 2nd fret, or for my more comprehensive tab see this link: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/t/the_kinks/autumn_almanac_ver2_crd.htm Based on one of Ray's later live performances where he performs the song a whole tone lower than the original track. He plays a simplified version of the song, without the addition of the original descending bass note progressions.

[Verse 1]
         Am                        D
From the dew soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar,

G            D
    When the dawn begins to crack,

C    D   G    D7    G             D
It's all part of my autumn alma - nac,

    Am                       D
The breeze blows leaves of a musty coloured yellow,

G           D
   So---- I sweep them in m' sack,

C    D    G    D7      G             D
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn alma - nac

Hi--------ding from the weather,

C#m     Caug                     E
Tea and toasted buttered currant buns,

      F#                     A
Can't compensate for lack of sun,

            G#7
Because the summer's all gone

Roast beef on Sundays,    ...al - right,

Sit in the open   ...sun - light

    And I'm always gonna stay here,

Dm                  Fm      G
    If I live to be ninety -nine,

               G7       C
'Cause all the people I meet...

Cm                        G
  ...Seem to come from my street,

E7                      A7
    And I can't get a - way,

B7                           Em     D#aug
