A6 B6 Emaj7 Babe have you seen those leaves on the ground A6 B6 Emaj7 At first they shone from the pavement in gold red and brown A6 B6 And they've been trampled on and ridden over Emaj7 And they're just sludge lying around B C#m And I think it's time to leave this town The trees whisper secrets of summer's love affairs Of the carelessness tomfoolery that happened everywhere But as the doors close And the wind blows The city sleeps And the sky weeps And I know I know I know it's time to leave this town Oh no you won't see me hanging around But babe I'll be back When the sun starts to seep through the leaves When I can sing you a song As you sing along On these magic berlin streets With our night riding Midnight gliding Morning dancing Pavement prancing You know oh you know You know I'll be back to live this town Oh you know I'll be back to love this town You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA6 B B6 C#m Emaj7 Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
