The G7birds and flowers that were here now can't be Cfound
All the friends that he once knew are C7not aFround
They are G7scattered like the leaves upon the Cground 
Some folks drift along through life and C7never Fthrill
To the G7feeling that a good deed brings Cuntil
It's too late and they are ready C7to lie Fdown

Lord let my eyes see every need C7of every Fman
Make me G7stop and always lend a helping Chand
Then when I'm laid beneath that little C7grassy Fmound
There'll be G7more friends around than leaves upon the Cground

C C7 F

Fallen leaves that lie scattered on the ground

G7 C

The birds and flowers that were here now can't be found

C7 F

All the friends that he once knew are not around

G7 C

They are scattered like the leaves upon the ground

C7 F

Some folks drift along through life and never thrill

G7 C

To the feeling that a good deed brings until

C7 F

It's too late and they are ready to lie down

G7 C

There beneath the leaves that scattered on the ground

C7 F

Lord let my eyes see every need of every man

G7 C

Make me stop and always lend a helping hand

C7 F

Then when I'm laid beneath that little grassy mound

G7 C

There'll be more friends around than leaves upon the ground

C7 F

To your grave there's no use taking any gold

G7 C

You cannot use it when it's time for hands to fold

C7 F

When you leave this earth for a better home someday

G7 C

The only thing you'll take is what you gave away
