Mama, it is raining leaves, it's snowing leaves, they're falling down,
  A                                 D
I love the way she says that and, I love this part of town.
  G                           C     
I love being surrounded by so many kinds of trees,
  A                              D
October on the west side reminds me to fall back east,
      G                                  C     
'cept I don't feel like falling for, the feeling that I've gotta fall,
            A                                 D
I feel like standing tall, and getting all of my ducks in a row,
    G                                    C     
I'm sure some times I'll waver, but I'll savour good intentions
             A                              D
I know, that progress not perfection is the only way to go

           G
If I wanna grow,
               C
Gotta prove my soul,
         A
Shed the leaves,
          D
'til I am wet and naked, cold and rainy,
G                    C
So, there's room for those,
                  A
Things that wanna grow,
         D
That are beautiful, new and amazing.

G
The days that seem, 
C
The most dreary,
    A                 D
Are perfect for being creative and cosy,
   G
As long as we sing,
C
Until the Spring,
     A
This Winter can be,
       D
A most magical thing,
    G
And our trunks will be,
C
Solid and strong,
       A
Even after, 
    D
The leaves are all gone,
    G
And our trunks will be,
C
Solid and strong,
       A
Even after, 
    D
The leaves are all gone.

G                                C
Mama, it is raining leaves, it's snowing leaves, they're falling down,
  A                                 D
I love the way she says that and, I love this part of town.
G                                C
Mama, it is raining leaves, it's snowing leaves, they're falling down,
  A                                 D
I love the way she says that and, I love this part of town...
