Nick Drake tuning. A hint at allegory.
Thought I heard you ask how is the weather
Leaves of gold and rust blowin around all around
I love to see the colors all together
Not afraid if it all turns brown
Fall you know it is my favorite season
The heat of summer lifts it starts to cool down all the way down
Wiser times that seem to follow reason
Before the treason of cold January days
The wrath of winter has been mean and angry
Ice it seems to freeze the heart from everyone who’s there
And the temperature it falls degree by degree
Till autumn days are long gone
I long for autumn leaves again
Days of all white snow will soon end
Thought I heard you ask how is the weather
Leaves of gold and rust blowin around all around
I love to see the colors all together
Not afraid if it all turns brown

I like how you stuck treason in there. Beautiful song. Now what the heck is a Nick Drake tuning? Is it open G or something?

This is a really pretty song. My favorite verse is the wrath of winter verse. If I were to be very philosophical about this, I would guess that Autumn is a later stage of life and Winter is death. It seems to freeze the heart from everyone who is there.

I love the fall too. I like "treason of cold January". Beautiful melody and tuning.

I am digging this tuning with the high capo. I love that little riff you have going at the end of the verses. Really poetic lyrics with nice imagery too!

That guitar is beautiful with the high capo and alt tuning. The lyric nails the image and feeling of fall. Brings me home. Good stuff!
