Last Leaves Of Autumn Chords by Beth Orton

_ _ _ [G] Oh the leaves, how they [Am] _ _ shimmer
[G] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ Trees lift [G] their skirts and [Am] their _ _ [G] quivers _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ Gently [G] they _ lay [Am] _ down _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ To the [G] _ dirt and dust and grime
They [F] _ lose their [Em] innocence to find it all over
[F] And now they're missing, [Em] they're just high on a feeling
[F] All they need is [G]
believing, no reason [F] will do _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [Am] I'm hanging on like the [G] last leaves of autumn
But [Am] I'm coming through like [G] the first shoots of [Em] spring
And [Am] I'm standing outside of [G] space and time
And [Am] I'm _ _ [G] healing, _ _ _ [Am] _ _
believing
_ [G] _ _ _ I'm ready for a first time [F] feeling _ _ _
[Em] Something I couldn't [Dm] believe in
I'm ready for a first time [F] feeling
And [G] awake I sleep in [Am] _ _ _
season
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] Ever that morning [G] came again [Am] I'd take it
_ _ [G] _ _
_ [Am] Ever that morning [G] came again I'd be [Am] there
I have _ _ [G] _ _
_ [F] tried to live each [Em] day as they last
[C] I have [F] found life is long and [Em] have gone and gone past
And [F] it's best to stand in [Em] the shelter of my [F] love
_ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [Am] I'm hanging on like [G] the last leaves of autumn
[Am] But one ray of sun and [G] I bleed into [Em] one
And [Am] the light of the sky and [G] burning [Em] mist I [Am] fled
_ Like [G] _ _
a [Am] light of the sky and [G] blinding mist [Am] I fled
_ _ _ [G] I'm _ ready for a first [F] time feeling _
[Em] Something _ I couldn't [Dm] believe in
[Em] I'm ready for a first [F] time feeling
And [G] awake I sleep [Am] in season _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [F] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
