The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold (slide up 2 frets, then back to Am7)
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall (slide up 2 frets, then back to Am7)


Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall (slide up 2 frets, then back to Am7)
Yes I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall (slide up 2 frets, then back to Am7)
