Artist/Band: Newcomer Carrie Tabs
Song: Leaves Don't Drop, They Just Let Go Tab
By Carrie Newcomer and Michael Mains
On the recording the guitar sound is created by using two capos. A full capo is on the
2nd fret and a capo that covers only the G&D strings in on the 4th fret.
If you are playing the song on piano or on a guitar in standard tuning the chords below
work.

The truth I knew when I was eight.
My dad swam the length of Spirit Lake.
It must have been a million miles.
ThisI knew was true.
My mother sang while hangin' clothes.
Her notes weren't perfect heaven knows.
But heaven opened anyway.
And this I knew was true.
Chorus: Leaves don't drop they just let go,
And make a place for seeds to grow.
Every season brings a change,
A seed is what a tree contains,
To die and live is life's refrain.
I left her with some groceries,
Said, "Check the oil and call me please.�
She said " Hey, ma I'll be just fine."
This I knew was true.
Chorus:
I've traveled through my history,
From certainty to mystery.
God speaks in rhyme in paradox.
This I know is true.
