Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

I threw a pebble in a brook
C D
And watched the ripples run away
G A
And they never made a sound
D C G A D
And the leaves that are gre_____en turn to brown

And they wither with the wind
A
And they crumble in your hand
D Em A D
Hello, hello, hello, hello

And the leaves that are gre_____en turn to brown
