Autumn Leaves
(4 strums on each)
Am / / /
Am F G7 Cmaj7
The falling leaves drift by my window
F Dm6 E7 Am
The falling leaves of red and gold
Am F G7 Cmaj7
I see your lips the summer kisses
F Dm6 E7 Am
The sunburned hands I used to hold
​
Am Dm6 E7 Am
Since you went away the days grow long
Am Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
Cmaj7 Dm6 E7
But I miss you most of all
Am Am Dm6
My ‘darling’ when autumn leaves
E7 Am Am
start to fall

A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky

They've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
F / Dm / Dm / / / Am / Am / / /
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on hear their cry
