[Intro]
G  G7  C
[Verse 1]
The Cautumn leaves were C7fallin'
And the Fsnow was soon to D7come
G7As I was walkin' down a lonesome Croad
I Csaw a little C7fella
He was Fsittin' all aD7lone
A-G7catchin' leaves as they came tumblin' Cdown
[Chorus]
The Cleaves mustn't fall
Oh Fno, they mustn't D7fall
I'm G7tying the leaves so they will Cstay
I've Clost my mom and dad
Now Fsister's all I D7have
Don't G7let the fallin' leaves take her aCway
[Verse 2]
My Clittle sister's C7seven
And she Fsure a pretty D7thing
As G7pretty as the picture on the Cwall
The Cdoctor came this summer
And he Fsaid that she would D7die
When G7autumn leaves have turned and started to Cfall
[Chorus]
The Cleaves mustn't fall
Oh Fno, they mustn't D7fall
I'm G7tying the leaves so they will Cstay
I've Clost my mom and dad
Now Fsister's all I D7have
Don't G7let the fallin' leaves take her aCway
[Instrumental Bridge]
G7    C
[Verse 3]
So Cwon't you help me, C7mister
Won't you Fhelp me tie the D7leaves
We'll G7tie them to the branches good and Cstrong
And Cif we tie them tightly
We can Fkeep my sister D7here
And G7show the doctor man that he is Cwrong
[Chorus]
The Cleaves mustn't fall
Oh Fno, they mustn't D7fall
I'm G7tying the leaves so they will Cstay
I've Clost my mom and dad
Now Fsister's all I D7have
Don't G7let the fallin' leaves take her aCway
