[Verse]
   F       Dm          C
As I was a-walking one morning at ease
              C7             F
A viewing the leaves as they fell from the trees
            F7       Bb         Gm
All in slow motion appearing to be
     F              Dm             C             F
Like those that had withered, they fell from the trees

[Verse]
C      F                Dm           C
And if you'd seen those trees just a few days ago
                  C7         F
How beautiful and green they all seemed to grow
                  F7           Bb            Gm
But a frost came upon them and withered them all
      F           Dm           C             F
And a storm came upon them and down they did fall

[Verse]
C          F         Dm      C
What's the life of a man any more than a leaf
              C7          F
A man has his seasons, so why should we grieve
                 F7          Bb            Gm
Although in this world, we appear fine and gay
       F            Dm         C          F
Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away

[Verse]
C      F           Dm               C
If you look in the churchyard, it's there you will see
                C7            F
Those that have passed like a leaf from the tree
               F7        Bb           Gm
When age and affliction upon them did fall
       F             Dm         C             Bb
Like a leaf they did wither and down they did fall

[Verse]
C          F         Dm      C
What's the life of a man any more than a leaf
              C7          F
A man has his seasons, so why should we grieve
                 F7          Bb            Gm
Although in this world, we appear fine and gay
       F            Dm         C          Bb
Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away
           F    C    F
What's the life of a man?
