[Verse 1]
D G As I stand here at the grave of a lonely man A D Thinking how he lived his life upon the land. D G Recalling all the friends he lost for the love of gold. A D Now there’s only just a few to see him go.
[Chorus]
D G Falling leaves that lie scattered on the ground A D The birds and flowers that were here now can’t be found D G All his friends that he once had are not around A D They are scattered like the leaves upon the ground.
[Verse 2]
D G Some folks drift along through life and never thrill A D To the feeling that a good deed brings until D G It’s too late and they are ready to lie down A D Beneath the leaves there scattered on the ground.
[Chorus]
D G Falling leaves that lie scattered on the ground A D The birds and flowers that were here now can’t be found D G All his friends that he once had are not around A D They are scattered like the leaves upon the ground.
[Verse 3]
D G Lord let my eyes see every need of every man; A D Let me stop and always lend a helping hand D G Then when I’m laid beneath that cold and mossy ground A D There’ll be more friends around than leaves upon the ground.
[Chorus]
D G Falling leaves that lie scattered on the ground A D The birds and flowers that were here now can’t be found D G All his friends that he once had are not around A D They are scattered like the leaves upon the ground.
[Verse 4]
D G To your grave there’s no use taking any gold; A D It’s no use when it’s time for hands to fold. D G When you leave this world for a better home some day A D The only thing you’ll take is what you gave away.
