  			Intro: F  G  C 
C      G          C 
London leaves are falling, 
            G            C 
slowly they drift to the ground, 
F        G            C 
Soon the wind will be blowing,  
        F          G                 C 
and the snowflakes will come drifting down. 
C           F     G         C   
It's been a long, long, hot summer, 
C        F             G                 C 
But your cold love has chilled me to the bone. 
C          F     G          C 
It'll be a long, cold, cold winter, 
C        F          G              C 
It'll be colder than ever with you gone. 
 
Instrumental: F  G  C 
 
C      G          C 
London leaves are falling, 
                 G            C 
desperately they cling to the tree's, 
F    G              C 
Your love for me is dying, 
          F            G                 C 
Like the leaves you'll soon be gone from me. 
C          G                C 
But London leaves will turn green, 
C                    G                  C 
we'll forget all the winter leaves that die. 
C   F         G               C 
And someday I will find a new love, 
C    F              G              C 
I'll forget all the bitter tears I cried, 
C           F     G         C   
It's been a long, long, hot summer, 
C        F             G                 C 
But your cold love has chilled me to the bone. 
C          F     G          C 
It'll be a long, cold, cold winter, 
C        F          G              C 
It'll be colder than ever with you gone. 
C      G          C 
London leaves are falling.
