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
DO REm SOL DO
DO FA SOL DO
DO REm SOL DO
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
FA SOL
Time hurries on
DO SOL FA SOL DO
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
LAm
And they wither with the wind
REm SOL
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.
DO LAm SOL DO
Hello, hello, hello, hello
DO FA SOL DO
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
FA SOL
That's all there is
DO SOL FA SOL DO
And the leaves that are green turn to brown.
