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

Then one by one the leaves began to fall,
G# A# B-break
And now that winter's come to call.
C Am
The last leaf that clings to the bough
C Em
Just one leaf, that's all there is now.

Will my last hope fall with that
C Am
lonely leaf, lonely leaf?

With the last leaf, the last leaf,
F pause F E- Am
With the last leaf that clings to the bough

Bough, bough, bough . . . (FADE)
