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.

C                Dm           G          C
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
F            G
Time hurries on
        C      G        F  G          C
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
         Am
And they wither with the wind
         Dm              G
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.

C      Am     G      C
Hello, hello, hello, hello
C        F        G        C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
F                G
That's all there is
        C      G        F  G          C
And the leaves that are green turn to brown.
