[Verse]

             
I was twenty-o

            
ne years when 

            
I wrote this s

ong
             
I'm twenty-two

             
 now, but I wo

[Chorus]

             
And the leaves

          
 that are gree

          
n turn to brow

n
         
And they withe

r with the win

d
            
And they crumb

           
le in your han

[Verse]

             
Once my heart 

            
was filled wit

             
h the love of 

  
a girl
             
I held her clo

And the leaves

          
 that are gree

[Verse]

           
I threw a pebb

       
le in a brook
             
And watched th

            
e ripples run 

  
away
             
And they never

        
 made a sound

[Chorus]

             
And the leaves

          
 that are gree

Hello, hello, 

      
hello, hello
           
Goodbye, goodb

            
ye, goodbye, g

oodbye

             
That's all the

   
re is
             
And the leaves

          
 that are gree

          
n turn to brow

n.
