Intro: D

D                  Em       A             D
I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
                          C            D
I'm twenty two now but I won't be for long
G             A
 Time hurries on
         D       C        G    A             D
And the leaves that are gre_____en turn to brown
          Bm
And they wither with the wind
           A
And they crumble in your hand

       D          Em               A         D
Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl 
                          C            D
I held her close but she faded in the night
        G                A
Like a poem I meant to write
         D       C        G    A             D
And the leaves that are gre_____en turn to brown
          Bm
And they wither with the wind 
           A
And they crumble in your hand

D         Em     A      D
I threw a pebble in a brook
                         C    D
And watched the ripples run away
          G            A
And they never made a sound
         D       C        G    A             D
And the leaves that are gre_____en turn to brown
          Bm
And they wither with the wind
           A
And they crumble in your hand

D          Em     A      D
Hello, hello, hello, hello
                       C        D
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
G                  A
  That's all there is
         D       C        G    A             D         ( D )
And the leaves that are gre_____en turn to brown
