Artist - Tom Waits Album - Bad As Me Song - Last Leaf I thought Tom Waits had already written some of his most beautiful songs. I was wrong. Capo 5th

I'm the ^Clast ^Gleaf on the ^Ctree ^C7 The ^Fautumn took the rest But ^Cthey won't take ^Amme I'm the ^Clast ^Gleaf on the ^Ctree

^CWhen the autumn wind blows They're ^Amalready gone They ^Fflutter to the ground Cause they ^Gcan't hang on There's ^Cnothing in the world That ^AmI ain't seen I ^Fgreet all the new ones that are ^Gcoming in green

I'm the last leaf on the tree The autumn took the rest but they wont take me I'm the last leaf on the tree They say I got staying power Here on the tree But I've been here since Eisenhower And I've out lived even he I'm the last leaf on the tree The autumn took the rest but they won't take me I'm the last leaf on the tree I fight off the snow I fight off the hail Nothing makes me go I'm like some vestigial tail I'll be here through eternity If you want to know how long If they cut down this tree I'll show up in a song I'm the last leaf on the tree The autumn took the rest but they won't take me

I'm the ^Clast ^Gleaf on the ^Ctree I'm the ^Clast ^Gleaf on the ^Ctree I'm the ^Clast ^Gleaf on the ^Ctree

Alternatively, if you want to play the song capo'd on the 1st: C = E C7 = E7 G = B F = A Am = Cm
