Fallen Leaves

C                                
Fallen leaves that lie scattered 
C7     F
on the ground

    G7                             
The birds and flowers that were 
               C
here now can't be found

All the friends that he once knew 
    C7   F
are not around

         G7                        
They are scattered like the leaves 
         C
upon the ground


Some folks drift along through life 
    C7    F
and never thrill

       G7                      
To the feeling that a good deed 
        C
brings until

                                 C7
It's too late and they are ready to
     F
 lie down

      G7                     
There beneath the leaves that 
                  C
scattered on the ground


                                C7 
Lord let my eyes see every need of 
      F
every man

        G7                    
Make me stop and always lend a 
         C
helping hand

Then when I'm laid beneath that 
       C7     F
little grassy mound

            G7                     
There'll be more friends around 
                  C
than leaves upon the ground


To your grave there's no use taking
C7   F
 any gold

    G7                             
You cannot use it when it's time 
           C
for hands to fold

When you leave this earth for a 
       C7       F
better home someday

         G7                        
The only thing you'll take is what 
         C
you gave away
