Standard Tuning Capo: 1st Fret [INTRO] C Dm Am7 F C Dm F G [VERSE 1] C Dm I saw the autumn leaves Am7 F Peel up off the street C Dm Take wing on the balmy breeze F G And sweep you off your feet C Dm And you blushed as they scooped you up Am7 F On sugar maple wings C Dm To gaze down on the city below F G Ablaze with wondrous things [CHORUS] Am G F Downy feathers kiss your face G And flutter everywhere Am G F Reality is a lovely place G But I wouldn't wanna live there C Dm Am7 F I wouldn't wanna live there C Dm F G [VERSE 2] C Dm Weighed down by heavy lids Am7 F And lunar lullabies C Dm I knew you were wide awake F G 'Cause you smile with your eyes [CHORUS] Am G F Downy feathers kiss your face G And flutter everywhere Am G F Reality is a lovely place G But I wouldn't wanna live there [BRIDGE] C Dm From the green belt balcony Am7 F The wildfires look so pretty C Dm Ponderosa canopy F G I'd never leave if it were up to me C Dm To the ruby redwood tree Am7 F And to the velvet climbing ivy C Dm Painted all mahogany F G C I'd never leave if it were up to me (If it were up to me) F G With a starry brush F Paint the dusk venetian blue G 'Cause in the evening hush C F You'll never believe the view G And when the leaves return F And their whisperings fill the night G They'll freeze and burn C Where fire and ice collide C Dm Am7 F Where fire and ice collide C Dm F G [CHORUS 2 & 1] Am G F Can you feel a silk embrace G In the satin air? Am G F If we dissolve without a trace G Will the real world even care? Am G F Downy feathers kiss your face G And flutter everywhere Am G F Reality is a lovely place G But I wouldn't wanna live there C Dm Am7 F I wouldn't wanna live there C Dm F G [OUTRO] C Dm I saw the autumn leaves Am7 F Peel up off the street C Dm Take wing on the balmy breeze F G And sweep you off your feet...
