(Capo on 3)

(Intro.)
|(D) - - -

(Chorus)
I'm the (D)last leaf (A)on the tree (D) (D7)
(G) The autumn took the rest
But it (D)won't take me (Bm)
I'm the (D)last (A)leaf on the (G)tree

(Verse 1)
(D) When the autumn wind blows
(Bm) They're already gone
(G) They flutter to the ground
They (A)just can't hang on
(D) When there's nothing in this world
(DBm) That I ain't seen
(G) I greet all the new ones
That are (A)coming in green

(Chorus)
I'm the (D)last (A)leaf on the (D)tree
(G) The autumn took the rest
But they (D)won't take me (Bm)
'Cause I'm the (D)last (A)leaf on the (D)tree

(Verse 2)
(D) They say I got staying pow„ur
(Bm) Here on the tree
(G) But I'v„u been here since Eisenhower
And I've (A)outlived even he

(Chorus)
I'm the (D)last (A)leaf on the (D)tree
(G) The autumn took the rest
But they (D)won't take me (Bm)
I'm the (D)last (A)leaf on the (D)tree

(Verse 3)
(D) I fight off the snow
(Bm) I fight off the hail
(G) Nothing makes me go
I'm like (A)some vestigial tail
I'll be (D)here through eternity
(Bm) If you wanna know how long
(G) If they cut down this tree
I'll (A)show up in a song

(Out-Chorus)
I'm the (D)last (A)leaf on the (D)tree
(G) The autumn took the rest
But they (D)won't take me (Bm)
I'm the (D)last (A)leaf on the (D)tree
I'm the (D)last (A)leaf on the (D)tree
I'm the (D)last (A)leaf on the (G)tree (D) - - - - -
