THE LAST LEAF
The Cascades (Chandler-McKendry)

Intro:  E

     E                       C#mThe last leaf clings to the bough
     E                             G#mJust one leaf, that's all there is now
             A          BAnd 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#mLast summer beneath this tree
    E                         G#mMy love said she'd come back to me
            A         BBefore the leaves of autumn touched
              E                  C#m        the ground, touched the ground
          A                    EMy 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#mThe last leaf that clings to the bough
     E                             G#mJust one leaf, that's all there is now.
         A              BWill my last hope fall with that
                 E            C#m         lonely leaf, lonely leaf?
          A              G#mWith the last leaf, the last leaf,
          A pause         A            E- C#mWith the last leaf that clings to the bough
 E      C#m    E      C#mBough, bough, bough . . . (FADE)
