Lyrics

[Intro]
| D | Bm | A | - |

[Verse 1]
D                      Em      A           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
G        A
 Time hurries on
    D   C           G/B
And the leaves that are
G A
  green turn to brown

[Bridge]
D
    Bm
And they wither in the wind
    A
And they crumble in your hand

[Verse 2]
     D        Em                  A         D
Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl
       D
I held her close,
    G     C           D
but she faded int the night
     G              A
Like a poem I meant to write
    D   C           G/B
And the leaves that are
G A             D
  green turn to brown

[Bridge]
    Bm
And they wither in the wind
    A                   D
And they crumble in your hand

[Verse 3]
        Em       A  D
I threw a pebble in a brook
                        G   C D
And watched the ripples run away
    G               A
And they never made a sound
    D   C           G/B
And the leaves that are
G A          D
  green turn to brown

[Bridge]
    Bm
And they wither in the wind
    A                        D          Em
And they crumble in your hand Hello, Hel

[Verse 4]
       A      D
lo, Hello, Hello
Goodbye, Goodbye
G   C     D   G             A
Goodbyee, Goodbye That's all
there is
    D   C           G/B G A          D Bm A
And the leaves that are   green turn to
