Intro: E5
E5 C#5
The last leaf clings to the bough
E5 G#5
Just one leaf, that's all there is now
A5 B5
And my last hope lives with that
E5 C#5
lonely leaf, lonely leaf
A5 E5 -
With the last leaf that clings to the bough.
E5 C#5
Last summer beneath this tree
E5 G#5
My love said she'd come back to me
A5 B5
Before the leaves of autumn touched
E5 C#5
the ground, touched the ground
A5 E5
My love promised she's be homeward bound.
Chorus:
C5 D5 E5
Then one by one the leaves began to fall,
C5 D5 B-break
And now that winter's come to call.
E5 C#5
The last leaf that clings to the bough
E5 G#5
Just one leaf, that's all there is now.
A5 B5
Will my last hope fall with that
E5 C#5
lonely leaf, lonely leaf?
A5 G#5
With the last leaf, the last leaf,
A5 pause A5 E- C#5
With the last leaf that clings to the bough
E5 C#5 E5 C#5
Bough, bough, bough . . . (FADE)
