C C F Sitting here in Avalon, looking at Fm the pouring rain C C F Summertime has come and gone Fm and everybody's home again G F Closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs G I can still taste the wedding cake and Am7 it's sweet after all these A# F C years Chorus: F F A# C C These are the last words I have to say F A# C C That's why it took so long to write F A# C C There will be other words some other day F A# But that's the story of my life Comfort in my coffee cup Apples in the early fall They're pulling all the moorings up And gathering at the Legion hall Swept away all the streamers After the labor day parade There's nothing left for a dreamer now Only one final serenade Chorus: And these are the last words I have to say Before another age goes by With all those other songs I have to play But that's the story of my life D# A# F C And it's so clear standing here where I am D# A# F Ain't that what justice is for? Fm D# A# F C Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn anymore Stacked all the chairs on the table tops Hanged the sheets on the chandeliers It slows down, but it never stops Ain't it sweet after all these years Chorus: And these are the last words I have to say It's always hard to say goodbye (Ho, oh-oh) But now it's time to put this book away Then that's the story of my life (Hey, yeah-oh) These are the last words I have to say That's why it took so long to write There will be other words some other day Ain't that the story of my life? (Oh-oh-oh-oh) These are the last words I have to say Before another age goes by With all those other songs I have to play Yeah that's the story of my life... | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  A#  Am7  C  D#  F  Fm  G  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
