D C D Autumn days, when the grass is jewelled D C D And the silk inside a chestnut shell D C Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled (A7) D All these things I love so well So I mustn t forget C D - No, I mustn t for-get D D C - To say a great big thank you D I mustn t for-get. Clouds that look like familiar faces And a winter s moon with frosted rings Smell of bacon as I fasten up my laces And the song the milkman sings. So I mustn t forget No, I mustn t forget To say a great big thank you I mustn t forget. Whipped-up spray that is rainbow-scattered And a swallow curving in the sky Shoes so comfy though they re worn out and they re battered And the taste of apple pie. So I mustn t forget No, I mustn t forget To say a great big thank you I mustn t forget. Scent of gardens when the rain s been falling And a minnow darting down a stream Picked-up engine that s been stuttering and stalling And a win for my home team. So I mustn t forget No, I mustn t forget To say a great big thank you I mustn t forget. ORIINAL Key: C 2

Fill your hearts with joy and gladness, peace and plenty crown your days; love his laws, declare his judgments, walk in all his words and ways; he the Lord and we his children-- praise the Lord, all people, praise!
