Dm/G / Am G/B |C / G/B / | Am / G / | F7 ---| E ---| Am / Bm6 / | Am7 / Am / |

[or just go through the chords of the first two lines of the song]

 

            Dm7   G            Csus2     FM7

The falling leaves drift by my window.

     Dm7          E           Am  Bm6    Am7  Am

The falling leaves of red and gold.

           Dm7  G       Csus2      FM7

I see your lips---, the summer kisses.

    Dm7            E  Am7      Bm6    Am7

The sunburned hands I used to hold

 

Am        Esus4   E     D/F#      Am7  Bm6   Am7

Since you went away the days grow long,

Am  Dm7           G    C   CM7  FM7

And soon I'll hear old winter's song.

FM7   Dm7     E7          Am   Am/G  Am/F#

But I miss you most of all, my darling,

F7          E               Am7  Bm6  Am7

When autumn leaves start to fall.

 

Am7  Dm7  G    C    FM7  Dm7  E    Am   Bm6  Am7

Am   Dm7  G    C    FM7  Dm7  E    Am   Bm6

 

Since you went away the days grow long,

And soon I'll hear old winter's song.

But I miss you most of all, my darling,

When autumn leaves start to fall

Am9   Dm7      E  Esus         Am  Am/G  Am/F#

I---- miss you most of all------, my darling,

F7          E               Am  Bm6  Am

When autumn leaves start to fall

 

Bm6 = x x 4 0 3 x [simply slide Am7 shape up 2 frets]

Csus2 = 0 3 2 0 3 0  [just add the D with your pinky]

Am9 = 0 0 2 0 0 0 [just add the B to Am7]
