[Intro] Dm C Dm Am Dm Bb Dm Am Dm [Verse]
                     Am          Dm
There's a tree in an open field

                       Am   Dm
Branches reach for the sun

                    C               Am
With the green of a thousand leaves

      Bb             C      Dm
And a world that has just begun
[Verse]
                      Am          Dm
For the springtime is here again

                   Am     Dm
Buds and blossoms abound

            C           Am
Promises of future days

        Bb           C    Bb   A     Dm
And new life that is all around___
[Chorus]
        C         Bb    C    Dm
See the last leaf shivering

       Bb        Dm  C
As the winds did blow__

Dm      C        Bb       C
Holding tight to what she knew

Dm      C     Bb  C  Dm     Am  Dm
Fear of the unknown_____
[Verse]
                          Am          Dm
Soon the spring turned to summertime

                Am    Dm
She could never deny

                  C             Am
How she loved her home up there

     Bb        C         Dm
In between the earth and sky
[Verse]
                    Am             Dm
Still to drift on a summer breeze

                 Am    Dm
Was to taste paradise

                      C            Am
But that summer would turn to fall

        Bb           C       Bb  A   Dm
And the autumn would turn to ice___
[Chorus]
        C         Bb    C    Dm
See the last leaf shivering

       Bb        Dm  C
As the winds did blow__

Dm      C        Bb       C
Holding tight to what she knew

Dm      C     Bb  C  Dm
Fear of the unknown____
[Instrumental] Bb C Dm Bb Am Dm Bb C Dm Bb Dm A Dm [Verse]
                  Am           Dm
In the harvest of golden days

                       Am    Dm
Leaves were turning to fire

                 C             Am
Dancing upon the autumn breeze

       Bb          C        Dm
Like a princess on the high wire
[Verse]
                        Am            Dm
One by one, though, the dancers dove

                  Am      Dm
Spiralling to the ground

                 C           Am
Carried off on a winter wind

     Bb          C     Bb   A    Dm
Disappearing without a sound___
[Chorus]
        C         Bb    C    Dm
See the last leaf shivering

       Bb        Dm  C
As the winds did blow__

Dm      C        Bb       C
Holding tight to what she knew

Dm      C     Bb  C   Dm
Fear of the unknown__
[Verse]
       C        Bb       C      Dm
So the last leaf took to flight

       Bb        Dm  C
As the winds did blow___

Dm      C        Bb         C   Dm
Holding tight to what could be

        C       Bb  A  Dm
Finally letting go________
