[Gm] [C] However, [A] one of his songs that we've [Bb] always loved [Dm] is so timely we couldn't resist.
The falling [Gm]
[Bb] leaves [C] drift by [F] the [Am] window, [Gm]

[E] sunburned hands [A] I [Dm] used to hold.
[A] Since you went away, [Dm] the days grow long and [C]
soon I'll hear old [F] winter's song.
But [Dm]
[E] I [A] miss you most of [Dm] all, my darling,
[Bb] when [A] autumn leaves [Dm] fall.
