Gene Autry - When The Golden Leaves Are Falling Chords

[Intro]
| D             | E7**    A7**  | D             | A             |
 
[Verse 1]
         D                 D7                G              D
When the golden leaves are falling, down the lane I used to know
   D                 E7                A         A7
my heart is long and far the days gone by.
    D                   D7              G              D
The woodland trails are calling back to see them long ago
         D                E7**   A7**  D        D7
where we wander neath the bare October sky.
 
      G                     G              D                   D
I can hear the brook that's blowing by the pathway through the dele,
  E                 E7             A          A7
I wish that I could be there once again.
          D                D7               G                 D
Where the songbirds in the treetops sing to me their last farewell,
         D                  E7**    A7**     D        D
when the golden leaves were falling down the lane.
 
[Chorus 1]
         G                 G               D             D
When the golden leaves are falling then my memory always grazed
   E                E7                   A          A7
to see the woodland deles and glistening streams.
        D               D7                G              D
Oh, the sadness and the gladness of those near forgotten days
         D                   E7**     A7**     D        D
when the leaves were falling down the trail of green.
 
[Verse 2]
          D                  D7                 G                  D
Once when golden leaves were falling ‘round the schoolhouse in the dele,
   D                   E7                  A         A7
we roamed the woods my childhood loved and I.
        D                D7            G                 D
Hand in hand we stroll together or the glades we love so well,
       D                 E7**    A7**     D        D7
there alone we watch the sunsets fade and die.
 
         G            G                D            D
Like the angels up in heaven searching for a flower bear,
       E                  E7             A          A7
so, my darling's smile is pure as autumn rain.
         D             D7              G               D
Need the sicklemore we left her with a soft and tender prayer
         D                  E7**    A7**     D        D
when the golden leaves were falling down the lane.
 
[Chorus 2]
         G                 G               D             D
When the golden leaves are falling then my memory always strays
   E                  E7                   A          A7
to scenes of woodland deles and glistening streams.
        D               D7                G              D
Oh, the sadness and the gladness of those near forgotten days
         D                   E7**     A7**     D        D7
when the golden leaves were falling down the lane.
 
[End-Chorus]
         G                 G               D             D
When the golden leaves are falling then my memory always strays
   E                  E7                   A          A7
to scenes of woodland deles and glistening streams.
        D               D7                G              D
Oh, the sadness and the gladness of those near forgotten days
         D                   E7**     A7**     D        D*
when the golden leaves were falling down the lane.
