If you want to pick it like Paul does, try the following pattern for the intro and

first line, then extrapolate down. Sorry for the lack of detail.

Intro:

C Dm G C C F G C

C Dm G C

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song

C F G C <---F and G on this line are quarter notes.

I'm twenty-three now, but I won't be for long

F G

Time hurries on

C G 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.

Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl

I held her close, but she faded in the night

Like a poem I meant to write

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand.

I threw a pebble in a brook

And watched the ripples run away

And they never made a sound

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand.

C Am G C

Hello, hello, hello, hello

C F G C

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

F G

That's all there is

C G F G C

And the leaves that are green turn to brown.
