[Intro]
F  G  C
CLondon Gleaves are Cfalling,
slowly they Gdrift to the Cground,
FSoon the Gwind will be Cblowing,
and the Fsnowflakes Gwill come drifting Cdown.
CIt?s been a Flong, Glong, hot Csummer,
CBut your Fcold love has Gchilled me to the Cbone.
CIt?ll be a Flong, Gcold, cold Cwinter,
CIt?ll be Fcolder than Gever with you Cgone.
[Instrumental]
 F  G  C
CLondon Gleaves are Cfalling,
desperately they Gcling to the Ctree?s,
FYour Glove for me is Cdying,
Like the lFeaves you?ll Gsoon be gone from Cme.
CBut London Gleaves will turn Cgreen,
Cwe?ll forget all the Gwinter leaves that Cdie.
CAnd Fsomeday I Gwill find a new Clove,
CI?ll Fforget all the Gbitter tears I Ccried,
CIt?s been a Flong, Glong, hot Csummer,
CBut your Fcold love has Gchilled me to the Cbone.
CIt?ll be a Flong, Gcold, cold Cwinter,
CIt?ll be Fcolder than Gever with you Cgone.
CLondon Gleaves are Cfalling.
