C                Dm           G 
I was twenty-one years when I 
         C
wrote this song
    C                       F     G 
     C    <---F and G on this 
line are quarter notes.
I'm twenty-three now, but I won't be
 for long
F            G
Time hurries on
        C      G        F  G    
And the leaves that are green 
      C
turn to brown
Continues after the ad
         Am
And they wither with the wind
         Dm              G
And they crumble in your hand.

Once my heart was filled with the 
love of a girl
I held her close, but she faded in 
the night
Like a poem I meant to write
And the leaves that are green turn 
to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand.

I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound
And the leaves that are green turn 
to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand.

C      Am     G      C
Hello, hello, hello, hello
C        F        G        C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
F                G
That's all there is
        C      G        F  G    
And the leaves that are green 
      C
turn to brown.
