A F#m
The last leaf clings to the bough
A C#m
Just one leaf, that's all there is now
D E
And my last hope lives with that
A F#m
lonely leaf, lonely leaf
D E-
With the last leaf that clings to the bough.
A F#m
Last summer beneath this tree
A C#m
My love said she'd come back to me
D E
Before the leaves of autumn touched
A F#m
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 F#m
The last leaf that clings to the bough
A C#m
Just one leaf, that's all there is now.
D E
Will my last hope fall with that
A F#m
lonely leaf, lonely leaf?
D C#m
With the last leaf, the last leaf,
D pause D E- F#m
With the last leaf that clings to the bough
A F#m A F#m
Bough, bough, bough . . . (FADE)
