[E] [C#m]
[B]
[E] I was [F#m] 21 years when I wrote [E] this song
I'm 22 now [A] but I [D] won't be [E] for long
[A] Time [B] hurries on
[E] And the [D] leaves [A] that are green [B] [E] turn to brown
And [C#m] they wither with the wind
And [B] they crumble in your hand
[E] Once my heart [A] was filled with the [B] love [E] of a girl
I held her close [A] but she [D] faded [E] in the night
[A] Like a poem I [B] meant to write
[F#m]
[E] And the [D] leaves that [A] are green [B]
[E] turn to brown
And
[C#m] they wither with the wind
[B] And they crumble in your hand
[E] [F#m] I threw a pebble in [E] a brook
And watched the [A] ripples run [E]
away
[A] And they [E] never made a [B] sound
[E] And the [D] leaves that [A] are green
[B] [E] turn to brown
[C#m] And they wither with the wind
And [B] they crumble in your [E] [B] hand
[E] Hello, [A] hello, [B] hello
[A]
[E] Goodbye, goodbye, [D] goodbye, [E] goodbye
[A] That's [B] all there is
[E] And the [D] leaves that [A] are green [B] [E] turn to brown
