The Jazz-Classic written by Joseph Kosma.
The Chords are the way Fred Sokolow teaches the song on youtube (very helpful).
The Lyrics are the way Bing Lyle from Brighton/England sang the song in 1986 at 
Bären-Pub in Balingen/Germany. Bing also was the singer in the early 80s in a Band 
called "The Happy Cats" who played this song in several Pubs in Germany and 
England. It was a real-good-time!!
AmThe falling Dm7leaves Gdrift by my Cmaj7window Fmaj7  
             Bm7b5           E7  Am  
Those autumn leaves of red and gold 
AmI still Dm7remember, Gyour summer Cmaj7kisses         Fmaj7  
                Bm7b5         E7  Am  
Those sunburned hands I used to hold 
Since you went E7away the days grow Amlong 
And soon I´ll Dmhear Gold winters Cmaj7song Fmaj7  
      Bm7b5                 E7          Am  Dm*
But I miss you most of all my darling 
           Bm7b5                E7  Am  
When those autumn leaves start to fall
* Fred Sokolow plays D7 but I prefer Dm.
