MISC CHILDREN - COME LITTLE LEAVES CHORDS

Tuning: E A D G B E

This music comes from an online collection of children's folk songs called "Singing Games for Children". The poem is very old, probably having been written before the turn of the 20th century. I play it with a capo on 3, but the song is very flexible. Capo to your voice, and it will sound fine. [Verse 1]

^DCome, little leaves said the w^A7ind one ^Dday ^DCome ^A7over the ^Amea^Ddow with ^Ame ^E7and ^Aplay ^DPut on your dresses of red ^A7and ^Dgold ^DFor Summer ^Gis g^Done and the ^Ddays ^A7are ^Dcold

[Verse 2]

^DSoon, as the leaves heard the w^A7ind's loud ^Dcall ^DDown ^A7they came ^Aflutt^Dering, ^Aone ^E7and ^Aall; ^DOver the brown fields they danc^A7ed and ^Dflew. ^DSinging the g^Glad ^Dlittle s^Dongs t^A7hey ^Dknew

[Verse 3]

^DCricket, goodbye, we've been f^A7riends so^D long ^DLittle ^A7brook, ^Asing us y^Dour f^Aare^E7well ^Asong; ^DSay you are sorry to ^A7see us^D go ^DAh, you will ^Gmiss ^Dus, ri^Dght w^A7ell w^De know

[Verse 4]

^DDear little lambs in your f^A7leecy ^Dfold ^DMother w^A7ill k^Aeep ^Dyou fr^Aom harm^E7 and ^Acold; ^DFondly, we watched you in v^A7ale and g^Dlade ^DSay, will yo^Gu dr^Deam of ^Dour lo^A7ving s^Dhade?

[Verse 5]

^ADancing and whirling, the litt^A7le leaves^D went; ^DWinte^A7r had^A called ^Dthem, a^And th^E7ey were ^Acontent; ^DSoon, fast asleep in their e^A7arthy ^Dbeds, Th^De snow l^Gaid a ^Dcoverlet ^Dover ^A7their ^Dheads.
