[Verse]
F Dm
The last leaf clings to the bough
F Am
Just one leaf, that's all there is now
A# C
And my last hope lives with that
F Dm
lonely leaf, lonely leaf
A# E-
With the last leaf that clings to the bough.
F Dm
Last summer beneath this tree
F Am
My love said she'd come back to me
A# C
Before the leaves of autumn touched
F Dm
the ground, touched the ground
A# F
My love promised she's be homeward bound.
[Chorus]
C# D# F
Then one by one the leaves began to fall,
C# D# B-break
And now that winter's come to call.
F Dm
The last leaf that clings to the bough
F Am
Just one leaf, that's all there is now.
A# C
Will my last hope fall with that
F Dm
lonely leaf, lonely leaf?
A# Am
With the last leaf, the last leaf,
A# pause A# E- Dm
With the last leaf that clings to the bough
F Dm F Dm
Bough, bough, bough . . . (FADE)
