I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Try to Remember
Words by Tom Jones, melody by Harvey Schmidt
Rise Up Singing chapter: Time and Changes, p.228
Chords:
C Am F G (x4)
C Em F G (x2) *not once, as I think I say in the video
C Am F G (x2)
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember, and if you remember
Then follow, follow
Try to remember the kind of September
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember the kind of September
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember the kind of September
That love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember, and if you remember
Then follow, follow
Deep in December, it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December, it's nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow
Deep in December, it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made us mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
And follow, follow
