Leaves that are green

• Em

Em         A7           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            A7 
Time hurries on 
        D      C        G    Em7 A7      D 
And the leaves that are green___ turn to brown 
           Bm 
And they wither with the wind 
           Em7           A7 
And they crumble in your hand 
 
Once my heart was filled with a 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 
 
  D       Em     A7   D 
I threw a pebble in a brook 
                        G   C D 
And watched the ripples run a-way 
           G          A7 
And they never made a sound 
And the leaves that are green turned to brown 
And they wither with the wind  
And they crumble in your hand 
 
Hello, hello, hello 
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye 
That's all there is 
And the leaves that are green turned to brown 
And they wither with the wind  
And they crumble in your hand 
 
(Coda:) D Bm A7 A
