English lyrics by Johnny Mercer
Music By Joseph Kosma
[Verse 1]
          |    Am7|            D7| GM7  
The falling leaves    drift by the window,
|          CM7|  F#m7b5|          B7|     Em| Em  
     the Autumn Leaves,    of red and gold.
[Verse 2]
         |   Am7|          D7| GM7  
I see your lips,    the summer kisses,
|             CM7|  F#m7b5|         B7|  Em   Am| Em  
     the sunburned hands      I used to hold.
[Chorus]
        |    F#m7b5|             B7| Em  
Since you went away    the days grow long,
|             Em|  Am7|            D7| GM7  
    and soon I’ll hear    old winter’s song.
|     E7b9|          F#m7b5|      B7b9|     Em  Em/D  
      But I miss you most of all     my dar – ling,
|  C#m7b5   CM7|  F#m7b5|           B7b9|  Em   Am| Em  
         when  Autumn   Leaves start to fall.
