[Chorus]
        G    D           G    G7
I'm the last leaf on the tree
    C
The autumn took the rest
                   G Em
But it won't take  me
        G    D           G
I'm the last leaf on the tree

[Verse 1]
         G
When the autumn wind blows
        Em
They've already gone
     C
They flutter to the ground
           D          D7
Cause they can't hang on
            G
And there's nothing in the world
     Em
That I ain't seen
C                                 D
I greet all the new ones that are coming in green


[Chorus]
            G    D           G    G7
And I'm the last leaf on the tree
    C
The autumn took the rest
                  G Em
But it won't take me
        G    D           G
I'm the last leaf on the tree


[Instrumental]
G  D  G  G7


[Verse 2]
          G
Well they say I got staying power
Em
Here on the tree
         C
But I've been here since Eisenhower
         D             D7
And I've outlived even he


[Chorus]
        G    D           G    G7
I'm the last leaf on the tree
    C
The autumn took the rest
                  G Em
But it won't take me
        G    D           G
I'm the last leaf on the tree

[Verse 3]
       G
Well I fight off the snow
      Em
And I fight off the hail
C
Nothing makes me go
         D              D7
I'm like some vestigial tail
        G
And I'll be here through eternity
       Em
If you want to know how long
        C
If they cut down this tree
          D       D7
I'll show up in a song


[Chorus]
            G    D           G    G7
And I'm the last leaf on the tree
    C
The autumn took the rest
                  G Em
But it won't take me
        G    D
I'm the last leaf
        G    C
I'm the last leaf
        G    D           G
I'm the last leaf on the tree
