Leaves That Are Green Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][A][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]I was twenty-one yea[Em]rs
when [A]I wrote this s[D]ong
I'm twenty-two now but I [G]won't [C]be for [D]long
[G]Time hurries on[A]
And the [D]leaves [C]that are [G]green[A]
Turn to [D]brown
And they [Bm]wither with the wind
And they [A]crumble in your hand

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

[Verse 3]
[D]I threw a peb[Em]ble in [A]a bro[D]ok
And watched the ripples [G]run a[D]way
And they [G]never made a [A]sound
And the [D]leaves [C]that are [G]green[A]
Turn to [D]brown
And they [Bm]wither with the wind
And they [A]crumble in your hand

[Outro 1]
[D]Hello, hel[Em]lo, hel[A]lo, hel[D]lo
Goodbye, goodbye, good[G]bye, [C]goodbye[D]
[G]That's all the[A]re is
And the [D]leaves [C]that are [G]green[A]
Turn to [D]brown
[Bm][A][A]
