Brown Leaves

Em9 Cmaj7
Now are come the days of brown leaves
Em9 Cmaj7
They fall from the trees, they flutter on the ground
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D6/9 Em A9 Em A9
When the brown leaves flutter they are saying little things
Cmaj7 D6/9 Gmaj9 G6
They talk with the wind
Cmaj7 D Bm7 Em
I hear them tell of their borning days
Cmaj7 D6/9 Em A9 Em A9
When they did come into the world as leaves
Em9 Cmaj7
And they whisper of the hoods they wore then
Em9 Cmaj7
I saw them I used to count them on my way to school
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Today they were talking of the time before their borning days
D Em A9 Em A9
Of this springtime
Cmaj7 D6/9 Gmaj9 G6
They talked on and on
Cmaj7 D6/9 Bm7 Em
And I did listen on to what they were telling
Cmaj7 D6/9 Em
the wind and the earth in their whisperings
F C G D
They told how they were apart of earth and air
F C G
Before their tree borning days
Cm Cm7 Cm6 Bbmaj7 Bb6
And now they are going back to gray days of winter
Bbm7 Eb9 Fm6/D
they go back to the earth again
G Fm6 G
but they do not die
Em9 Cmaj7
And in the morning of today it was that I did listen to
Am7 Bm7 Cma7 D6/9 (x3) Em
these talkings of the brown leaves
