(Verse 1)
[D] I was twenty-one y[Em]ears when I w[A]rote this s[D]ong,[Dsus2] [D]
I'm tw[D]enty-two now, but I [C/G]won't [C]be for lo[D]ng,[Dsus2] [D]
T[G]ime hurries [A]on,
[D] [C] [C/B] [C/A] [G] [A] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
And the leaves that are---- green---- turn to brown,
[D] [Dsus2] [D] A[D]nd [D/C#]they w[Bm]ither with the wind,[Bsus2] [Bm]
And they cr[A]umble in your hand![A7]
(Verse 2)
Once my he[D]art was fi[Em]lled with the l[A]ove of a g[D]irl[Dsus2],[D]
I he[D]ld her close, but she f[C/G]aded [C]in the ni[D]ght,[Dsus2] [D]
Like a p[G]oem I meant to w[A]rite,
[D] [C] [C/B] [C/A] [G] [A] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
And the leaves that are---- green---- turn to brown,
[D] [Dsus2] [D] A[D]nd [D/C#]they w[Bm]ither with the wind,[Bsus2] [Bm]
And they cr[A]umble in your hand![A7]
(Verse 3)
[D] I threw a pe[Em]bble [A]in a br[D]ook,[Dsus2] [D]
And wa[D]tched the ripples [C/G]run [C]a - w[D]ay,[Dsus2] [D]
And they ne[G]ver made a so[A]und,
[D] [C] [C/B] [C/A] [G] [A] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
And the leaves that are---- green---- turn to brown,
[D] [Dsus2] [D] A[D]nd [D/C#]they w[Bm]ither with the wind,[Bsus2] [Bm]
And they cr[A]umble in your hand![A7]
(Verse 4)
[D] Hello, hel - [Em]lo, hel - [A]lo, hel - [D]lo,
Good -b[D]ye, good -bye, good -[C/G]bye, go[C]od - [D]bye,[Dsus2] [D]
[G] That's all there [A]is,
[D] [C] [C/B] [C/A] [G] [A]
And the leaves that are---- green----...
...Turn to br[D]own[D4]![D] [Dsus2] [D/C#]
