Bb         Bbmaj7     Bb7add6 Cm Cm7
I tried to talk to my baby

         Gb                    E
I said, "No, no, no, no, baby, please don't cry

Gb                E
No, no, no, baby, please

Gb                            E
'Cause all of the leaves come down

                    Gb
Every time babies cry

                  E
All of the leaves come down"

Hush, hush, hush, baby sleep

'Cause all of the birds start to sing

                    Gb
Every time babies dream

                          E
All of the birds start to sing"

Lovers of today happy

So assumed they're going to part

 Nobody wants to be with someone

    Gb               Bbm         E Gb E        N.C.
So afraid they'll be left with a broken heart

All of the stars in the skies"
