Leaves That Are Green

1 2m 1

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song

4 1

I’m twenty-two now but I won’t be for long

4 5

Time hurries on

1 ^b7 4 5 1

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

I threw a pebble in a brook

And watched the ripples run away

But they never made a sound

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

6m

And they wither with the wind

4 5

And they crumble in your hand

Once my heart was filled with the 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
