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