[Intro]
G D G G7 C C G Em G D G G
[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
[Instrumental]
G7 G G
[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]

[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

I'm the last leaf on the tree
