Please let me know if this need correcting. 
G5                                 C5   
Leaves are falling and turning to showers of gold 
G5                                 D5
As the postman climbs up our long hill 
G5                                         C5
And there's sympathy written all over his face 
A5          C5                D5
As he hands me a couple more bills 
 

   G5 
   Who will watch the home place 
   C5
   Who will tend my hearts dear space 
   G5
   Who will fill my empty place 
   A5        D5         G5
   When I am gone from here 
 
There's a lovely green nook by a clear-running stream 
 
It was my place when I was quite small 
 
And it's creatures and sounds could soothe my worst pains 
 
But today they don't ease me at all 
 
In my grandfather's shed there are hundreds of tools 
 
I know them by feel and by name 
 
And like parts of my body they've patched this old place 
 
When I move them they won't be the same 
 
Now I wander around touching each blessed thing 
 
The chimney the tables the trees 
 
And my memories swirl 'round me like birds on the wing 
 
When I leave here oh who will I be
