[Intro] A G D A [Verse 1]
   A                   G
We live in the land of plenty

    D                            A
But many things aren't plenty anymore

         A
Like the water from our sink

     G
They say is not safe to drink

    D                          A
You gotta go and buy it at the store.
[Verse 2]
           G                          A
Now, we're told there's a hole in the ozone

G                         A
Look whats washing on the beach

    A
And lord, i believe

         G
From the heavens to the seas

      D                             A
We're bringing mother nature to her knees
[Chorus]
         D                   A
So let's leave some blue up above us

      G          D            A
Let's leave some green on the ground

    A
Its only ours to borrow

      G
Let's save some for tommorrow

D                       A
Leave it and pass it on down
[Break] G D A [Verse 3]
                A                               G
Well, there's a change taking place away on the mountains

D                           A
Acid rain is falling on the leaves

                       G
And down in brazil the fires are burning still

D                                 A
How we gonna breathe without them trees?
[Chorus]
         D                   A
So let's leave some blue up above us

      G          D            A
Let's leave some green on the ground

    A

          A                              G
There's a place where i lived called the canyon

D                           A
Where my daddy taught me to swim

                          G
And that water is so pure - and i'm gonna make sure

        D                             A
Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him
[Verse 5]
       G                                   A
Now we all ought to feel just a little bit guilty

        G                         A
When we look into the eyes of our kids

                                 G
Cause brothers its a fact, if we take and not put back

D                              A
They'll have to pay for all we did
[Chorus]
