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