G     D            Am       C
  I awoke to a voice   in a garden
G                D             A7      A7
  "This is where life comes to grow"
G                D      Am           C
  "Which are the weeds,    which are flowers?
G                 D             F - C     C
  "Please tell me for I need to know"

|   G   |   D   |  F - C  |   C   |


G        D       Am        C
    The voice so    gently whispered
G          D           A7       A7
  "You are home now my friend"
G               D     Am      C
  "You aren't a weed     or a flower,
G               D           F - C     C
  you are but a leaf on the wind,"

G             D              Am     C
  I told her I thought I was     dying,
G                  D            A7     A7
  She said, "Don't you worry at all."
G          D        Am              C
  "We are all of us     born in the springtime,
G           D           F - C        Am    ...
  And pass away, day by day   in the fall

  We all must go from    green
G      D                  A7     A7
    to gold  to brown  To float
G         D            Am       C
  on the breeze and do    as we please
G          D             F - C            Am   ...
  When the wind stops we all    must come down
