Tuning: E A D G B E

Written by Kathleen Brennan + Tom Waits in 2011. Joan Baez published this version on her album "Whistle Down The Wind" in 2017. I choose intermediate difficulty since she doesn't play it in a constantly countable measure. [Intro] G D G G7 C C G Em G D G G [Chorus]

I'm the ^Glast ^Dleaf on the ^Gtree ^G7 The ^Cautumn took the rest But it won't take ^Gme^Em I'm the ^Glast ^Dleaf on the ^Gtree

[Instrumental] G7 G G [Verse 1]

When the ^Gautumn wind blows They've ^Emalready gone They ^Cflutter to the ground Cause they ^Dcan't hang ^D7on And there's ^Gnothing in the world That ^EmI ain't seen ^CI greet all the new ones that are ^Dcoming in green

[Chorus]

And I'm the ^Glast ^Dleaf on the ^Gtree ^G7 The ^Cautumn took the rest But it won't take ^Gme^Em I'm the ^Glast ^Dleaf on the ^Gtree

[Instrumental] G D G G7 [Verse 2]

Well they ^Gsay I got staying power ^EmHere on the tree But I've ^Cbeen here since Eisenhower And I've ^Doutlived even ^D7he

[Chorus]

I'm the ^Glast ^Dleaf on the ^Gtree ^G7 The ^Cautumn took the rest But it won't take ^Gme^Em I'm the ^Glast ^Dleaf on the ^Gtree

[Instrumental] G G D G G7 C C G Em G D G G G [Verse 3]

Well I ^Gfight off the snow And I ^Emfight off the hail ^CNothing makes me go I'm like ^Dsome vestigial ^D7tail And I'll^G be here through eternity If you ^Emwant to know how long If they ^Ccut down this tree I'll show ^Dup in a ^D7song

[Chorus]

And I'm the ^Glast ^Dleaf on the ^Gtree ^G7 The ^Cautumn took the rest But it won't take ^Gme^Em I'm the ^Glast ^Dleaf I'm the ^Glast ^Cleaf I'm the ^Glast ^Dleaf on the ^Gtree

[Outro] C G D G G
