Intro:
[C] [F] [G] [C]
[C]I was twenty-one [Dm]years when I [G]wrote this [C]song
C F G C <---F and G on this line are quarter notes.
I'm twenty-three now, but I won't be for long
[F]Time hurries [G]on
And the [C]leaves [G]that are [F]gre[G]en turn to [C]brown
And they [Am]wither with the wind
And they [Dm]crumble in your [G]hand.
Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl
I held her close, but she faded in the night
Like a poem I meant to write
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand.
I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand.
[C]Hello, [Am]hello, [G]hello, [C]hello
[C]Goodbye, [F]goodbye, [G]goodbye, [C]goodbye
[F]That's all there [G]is
And the [C]leaves [G]that are [F]gre[G]en turn to [C]brown.
