Capo 5th Fret
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
CI was twenty-one Dmyears when I Gwrote this Csong
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
FTime hurries Gon
And the Cleaves Gthat are FgreGen turn to Cbrown
And they Amwither with the wind
And they Dmcrumble in your Ghand.
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.
CHello, Amhello, Ghello, Chello
CGoodbye, Fgoodbye, Ggoodbye, Cgoodbye
FThat's all there Gis
And the Cleaves Gthat are FgreGen turn to Cbrown.
