Gordon Lightfoot – Leaves Of Grass (Guitar)

    C         G          C
The leaves of grass will not pass on

                      F          G    C
Though the millstones grind them into dust

                    F        G       C
For the earth shall give new life to them

    F        Dm         G         C     Csus4
But only the grass will grow once more

        C          G       C          G
And the brave must fall to honour the names

       C                    Dm    G
Of the ones who have gone before 

        C           F        G       C
And the earth shall give new life to them

    F        Dm         G         C     Csus4  C  Csus4
But only the grass will grow once more

   C            G         C
If people could look into each other's eyes

                 F          G           C
What a wonderful place this world would be

                 F             G      C
All strife would end, we could start again

    F           Dm         G        C   Csus4
And dreams like these must not pass on

        C          G          C          G
But the brave keep falling to honour the names 

       C                    Dm    G
Of the ones who have gone before 

        C           F        G       C
And the earth shall give new life to them

    F        Dm         G         C     Csus4  C  Csus4
But only the grass will grow once more

        C          G          C          G
And the brave keep falling to honour the names

       C                    Dm    G
Of the ones who have gone before 

        C           F        G       C
And the earth shall give new life to them

    F        Dm         G         C     Csus4  C  Csus4
But only the grass will grow once more

    C         G          C
The leaves of grass will not pass on

                      F          G    C
Though the millstones grind them into dust

                    F        G       C
For the earth shall give new life to them

    F        Dm         G         C   Csus4  C  Csus4  C  Csus4  C
But only the grass will grow once more
