Leaves That Are Green Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

EmI was twenA7ty-one years whDen I wrote this song,

I'm twenty-two now, but I wGon't Cbe for loDng,

Time hurries A7on,

And the leDaves tChat are GgrEm7een tA7urn to brDown.

And they wBmither with the wind,

And they cEm7rumble in your hand.

DOnce my heart was fEmilled withA7 the love of a Dgirl,

I held her close, but she fGaded Cin the niDght,

Like a poem I meant to wA7rite,

And the leDaves tChat are GgrEm7een tA7urn to brDown,

And they wiBmther with the wind,

And they crEm7umble in your hand.

I thDrew a pEmebble A7in a bDrook,

And watched the ripples rGun CawDay,

And they nGever made a sA7ound,

And the leaDves thCat are gGreEm7en tuA7rned to bDrown,

And they wiBmther with the wind,

And they crEm7umble in your hand.

DHello, Emhello, heA7llo, hDello,

GoodbDye, goodbye, goodGbye, gCoodbDye,

GThat's all there A7is,

And the leaDves thCat are gGreEm7en tuA7rned to bDrown.
