Leaves That Are Green chords Simon and Garfunkel 1965 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaves_That_Are_Green Capo IV * [Intro] C Am G G [Verse]

C                Dm           G          C
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song

    C                     F     G      C
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long

F            G
Time hurries on

[Chorus]

        C      Bb       F  G          C
And the leaves that are green turn to brown

         Am
And they wither with the wind

         Dm              G
And they crumble in your hand.

[Verse]

C                 Dm              G         C
Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl

  C                       F     G      C
I held her close, but she faded in the night

F                      G
Like a poem I meant to write

[Chorus]

        C      Bb       F  G          C
And the leaves that are green turn to brown

         Am
And they wither with the wind

         Dm              G
And they crumble in your hand.

[Verse]

C         Dm     G    C
I threw a pebble in a brook

C               F       G     C
And watched the ripples run away

F                     G
And they never made a sound

[Chorus]

        C      Bb       F  G          C
And the leaves that are green turn to brown

         Am
And they wither with the wind

         Dm              G
And they crumble in your hand.

C      Dm     G      C
Hello, hello, hello, hello

C        Em       F        C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

F                G
That's all there is

        C      Bb       F  G          C
And the leaves that are green turn to brown.
