[Intro] A E D [Verse 1]
A                   D              E
When it's closing time in late September

D                                               E
And the street lights search for shadows on my mind

          A                    D             A              D
When the bars all holler last call and the moon's on her descent

     A                   E     A          D
I stagger towards the morning, a new day to begin

A            E         E/F#       D
Counting down to closing time again
[Verse 2]
A                        D           E
She swears my youthful glow is only hiding

D                               E
Just beyond the borders of my mind

            A                   D     A               D
But these rollin' hills don't bind me, they simply remind me

A                   E   A                    D
The sun is sinking low, and all I've left behind me

A                  E      E/F#      D
Counting down to closing time again
[Chorus]
E                           D             A
Darlin' I've been thinking, is it selfish pride

E                                 D        E
Keeps a man from sharing all the tears he hides?
[Verse 3]
A                         D              E
Cause when it's closing time in late September

           D                      E
And the summer turns slowly into fall

     A                   D      A                   D
Our mother, with such splendour, dies in brilliant colour

A                      E   A                    D
Thoughts once put together by a hospital room window

A                  E     E/F#     D
Counting down to closing time again
[Mandolin solo](Verse Chords) A D E D E A D A D A E A D A E E/F# D [Chorus]
E                           D             A
Darlin' I've been thinking, is it selfish pride

E                                 D        E
Keeps a man from sharing all the tears he hides?
[Verse 4]
A                         D              E
Cause when it's closing time in late September

      D                               E
It's hard to hide how much I miss her so

      A               D        A               D
As a tenderness of memories unfolds itself within me

A                     E       A                   D
With such gravity unyielding in the land of the living

A             E         E/F#     D
Counting down to closing time again
[Outro] A E D
