George Edmund's Song


Am  E Am
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, lie strewn around he here;
Am E C G E7
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, how sad, how cold, how drear!
C Dm
How like the hopes of childhood's day,
Em Am
Thick clust'ring on the bough!
Dm E7
How like those hopes in their decay-
Am E7 Am
How faded are they now!
Dm Am C G F
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, lie strewn around me here;
Am E7 F G Am
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, how sad, how cold, how drear!

Wither'd leaves, wither'd leaves, that fly before the gale:
Withered leaves, withered leaves, ye tell a mournful tale,
Of love once true, and friends once kind,
And happy moments fled:
Dispersed by every breath of wind,
Forgotten, changed, or dead!
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, lie strewn around me here!
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, how sad, how cold, how drear!
