Am D7 F
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song,
F F F
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long,
D7
Time hurries on,
F F F Am7 D7 F
And the leaves that are green turn to brown.
Em
And they wither with the wind,
Am7
And they crumble in your hand.
F Am D7 F
Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl,
F F F
I held her close, but she faded in the night,
D7
Like a poem I meant to write,
F F F Am7 D7 F
And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
Em
And they wither with the wind,
Am7
And they crumble in your hand.
F Am D7 F
I threw a pebble in a brook,
F F F
And watched the ripples run away,
F D7
And they never made a sound,
F F F Am7 D7 F
And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
Em
And they wither with the wind,
Am7
And they crumble in your hand.
F Am D7 F
Hello, hello, hello, hello,
F F F F
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
F D7
That's all there is,
F F F Am7 D7 F
And the leaves that are green turned to brown.
