[Verse 1]
D                    Em           A          D   Dsus2 D
   I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song,
      D                   C/G   C        D   Dsus2 D
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long,
 G           A
Time hurries on,
          D     C   C/B C/A   G   A            D   Dsus2 D
And the leaves that are---- green---- turn to brown,
D Dsus2 D   D  D/C#  Bm                   Bsus2 Bm
           And they wither with the wind,
           A                    A7
And they crumble in your hand!


[Verse 2]
          D         Em             A         D  Dsus2 D
Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl,
    D                      C/G  C        D      Dsus2 D
I held her close, but she faded in the night,
        G               A
Like a poem I meant to write,
          D      C  C/B C/A   G   A            D   Dsus2 D
And the leaves that are---- green---- turn to brown,
D Dsus2 D   D  D/C#  Bm                   Bsus2 Bm
           And they wither with the wind,
           A                    A7
And they crumble in your hand!


[Verse 3]
D               Em   A      D    Dsus2 D
    I threw a pebble in a brook,
      D                 C/G C    D   Dsus2 D
And watched the ripples run a - way,
           G            A
And they never made a sound,
          D      C  C/B C/A   G   A            D   Dsus2 D
And the leaves that are---- green---- turn to brown,
D Dsus2 D   D  D/C#  Bm                   Bsus2 Bm
           And they wither with the wind,
           A                   A7
And they crumble in your hand!


[Verse 4]
D                Em        A         D
    Hello, hel - lo, hel - lo, hel - lo,
       D                    C/G    C    D   Dsus2 D
Good -bye, good -bye, good -bye, good - bye,
G                   A
   That's all there is,
          D      C  C/B C/A   G   A
And the leaves that are---- green----...
             D  D4 D  Dsus2 D/C#
...Turn to brown!
