Topic: Where The Leaves Are Green

Hello, i was feeling rather woodsy today and decided to write a song about my feelings at the time.

The tuning is odd, the same tuning used in Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. it goes:

E E E E B E

from lowest to highest. to tune it to this tuning, check out the Suite: Judy Blue Eyes tab here on Chordie, it gives instructions.

Lyrics:
Verse:
Hey, Why dont you stay for a while?
And go with me to where the leaves are green
Where we can lay under the trees
Which give us all a bit of shade
Chorus:
But, remember when you leave
not to say that you dont love me
And make sure that your next love
Is not like me.
Verse 2:
Hey, i remember when we both were young
When we decided that we would be in love
And we made sure that we
could be the way we wanted to
Chorus
Verse 3 (long one)
And now that i'm alone
i'm on my own, youve turned away.
All my thoughts of you turn to
gray-------- (hold out)
But i look to the sky and then i find
those lovely trees where the leaves are green
And i think back to the time
Where i was happy just to be with you.

OPTIONAL SOLO ENDING! WOW!

Re: Where The Leaves Are Green

Anthony - tremendous stuff with a very lovely lyric.  Unusual tunings must tickle your muse!  Keep the hits a-comin' . . .
