 Em  Em9   Em     Am7   D7               GM7   G6The  au - tumn leaves       drift by my window,

            Am6   B7               Em  Em9  EmThe autumn leaves     of red and gold.

Em  Em9   Em   Am7  D7               GM7      G6I   see  your lips,      the summer kisses,

                Am6   B7             EmThe sunburned hands       I used to hold.


  B+  Em   B7                        EmSince you went away, the days grow long,

    Em7   Em  D7        D    D7     GAnd soon I'll hear old win - ter's song;

     CdimIV   CdimI     B7      Em   Em9   EmBut I miss you most of all, my Dar - ling,

      A   Am7   B7               Em   Am7   Am6   Em(9)When au - tumn leaves start to fall.
