THE LAST LEAF
The Cascades (Chandler-McKendry)

Intro:  E

     E                       C#m
The last leaf clings to the bough
     E                             G#m
Just one leaf, that's all there is now
             A          B
And my last hope lives with that
                E            C#m
        lonely leaf, lonely leaf
          A                           E-
With the last leaf that clings to the bough.

      E                   C#m
Last summer beneath this tree
    E                         G#m
My love said she'd come back to me
            A         B
Before the leaves of autumn touched
              E                  C#m
        the ground, touched the ground
          A                    E
My love promised she's be homeward bound.

Chorus:
          C               D               E   
     Then one by one the leaves began to fall,
          C                 D       B-break
     And now that winter's come to call.

     E                            C#m
The last leaf that clings to the bough
     E                             G#m
Just one leaf, that's all there is now.
         A              B
Will my last hope fall with that
                 E            C#m
         lonely leaf, lonely leaf?
          A              G#m
With the last leaf, the last leaf,
          A pause         A            E- C#m
With the last leaf that clings to the bough
 E      C#m    E      C#m
Bough, bough, bough . . . (FADE)
