Key: E
Introduction:
Em A7 D
I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
G C D
I'm twenty two now but I won't be for long
G A7
Time hurries on
D C G Em7 A7 D
And the leaves that are green___ turn to brown
Bm
And they wither with the wind
Em7 A7
And they crumble in your hand
Once my heart was filled with a love of a girl
D Em A7 D
I threw a pebble in a brook
G C D
And watched the ripples run a-way
G A7
And they never made a sound
And the leaves that are green turned to brown
