Em A7 D
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song,
G C D
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long,
A7
Time hurries on,
D C G Em7 A7 D
And the leaves that are green turn to brown.
Bm
And they wither with the wind,
Em7
And they crumble in your hand.
D Em A7 D
Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl,
G C D
I held her close, but she faded in the night,
A7
Like a poem I meant to write,
D C G Em7 A7 D
And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
Bm
And they wither with the wind,
Em7
And they crumble in your hand.
D Em A7 D
I threw a pebble in a brook,
G C D
And watched the ripples run away,
G A7
And they never made a sound,
D C G Em7 A7 D
And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
Bm
And they wither with the wind,
Em7
And they crumble in your hand.
D Em A7 D
Hello, hello, hello, hello,
D G C D
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
G A7
That's all there is,
D C G Em7 A7 D
And the leaves that are green turned to brown.
