Intro: Gm Gm9 Gm7 
 
        Gm7    C7            Am 
The falling leaves      drift by my window  
Dm7           Gm7     C7         Dm7   
The autumn leaves of  red and gold 
           Gm7     C7         Am7   Dm7 
I see your lips, the summer kisses  
            Gm7   C7          Dm7 
The sunburnt hands I used to hold  
            E7       Am7                     Dm7 
Since you went away       the days   grow long 
      Gm7   C7                  Am7   Dm7 
And soon I'll hear     old winter's song  
       Gm7                C7              Am       Dm7 
But I miss  you   most of all my darling  
         E7             Dsus4  Dm     
When Autumn leaves start to fall  
                Gm7     C7            Am          Dm7 
The falling leaves      drift by my window  
             Gm7     C7         Dm7   
The autumn leaves of  red and gold 
           Gm7     C7         Am7   Dm7 
I see your lips, the summer kisses  
            Gm7   C7          Dm7 
The sunburnt hands I used to hold  
            E7       Am7                     Dm7 
Since you went away       the days   grow long 
      Gm7   C7                  Am7   Dm7 
And soon I'll hear     old winter's song  
       Gm7                C7             Am       Dm7 
But I miss  you   most of all my darling
