Verse 1:

A                                D                    A
Met an old man in the park and I talked with him ‘til dark.
F#m              E                A
Listening to the stories he could tell.
A                                       D                 A
Even though he lost his sight, he could make you laugh or cry.
   F#m             E                 A
He often had these words he asked of me.

Chorus:
        D                    A
Are the leaves still painted green?
       F#m                  E
Do the birds still look the same?
       A                  D
Do the old dogs sleep all day?
         A                 E             A
Then the old man smiled at me and walked away.

Verse 2:

A                                   D                A
I went back to walk around, but the old man can’t be found.
          F#m     E             A
Ever seen carving on his wooden cane.
A                                      D               A
Though we’ll never be back again, I’ll remember my old friend,
        F#m             E               A
And the very last words that he said to me.


Chorus:

        D                    A
Are the leaves still painted green?
       F#m                  E
Do the birds still look the same?
       A                  D
Do the old dogs sleep all day?
         A                 E             A
Then the old man smiled at me and walked away.


Chorus:

        D                    A
Are the leaves still painted green?
       F#m                  E
Do the birds still look the same?
       A                  D
Do the old dogs sleep all day?
         A                 E             A
Then the old man smiled at me and walked away.
