[Verse]
D# Cm
The last leaf clings to the bough
D# Gm
Just one leaf, that's all there is now
G# A#
And my last hope lives with that
D# Cm
lonely leaf, lonely leaf
G# E-
With the last leaf that clings to the bough.
D# Cm
Last summer beneath this tree
D# Gm
My love said she'd come back to me
G# A#
Before the leaves of autumn touched
D# Cm
the ground, touched the ground
G# D#
My love promised she's be homeward bound.
[Chorus]

Then one by one the leaves began to fall,
B C# B-break
And now that winter's come to call.

The last leaf that clings to the bough

Will my last hope fall with that

With the last leaf, the last leaf,
G# pause G# E- Cm
With the last leaf that clings to the bough

Bough, bough, bough . . . (FADE)
