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