[Verse 1]
Bm              Em   
I fell into the ocean

A7                 D  
 and you became my wife

G7                  F#7
 I risked it all against the sea 

                 Bm
to have a better life
[Verse 2]
Bm                Em      
Marie you are the wild blue sky, 

A7              D
 men do foolish things

G7                   F#7
 You turn kings into beggars 

                 Bm
and beggars into kings
[Chorus]
   G                    D          
Pretend that you owe me nothing 

    A7               D
and all the world is green

G                      D                 
 We can bring back the old days again 

     A7               D     D/a(A#m)
when all the world is green
[Verse 3]
Bm                    Em
The face forgives the mirror

A7                     D 
 The worm forgives the plow

G7                      F#7 
 The questions begs the answer

                       Bm 
Can you forgive me somehow?
[Verse 4]
Bm                     Em
Maybe when our story's over

A7                          D 
 We'll go where it's always spring

G7                       F#7 
 The band is playing our song again 

                     Bm
And all the world is green 
[Chorus]
   G                    D          
Pretend that you owe me nothing 

    A7               D
and all the world is green

G                      D                 
 We can bring back the old days again 

     A7               D     D/a(A#m)
when all the world is green
[Verse 5]
Bm                 Em
The moon is yellow silver

A7                          D 
 Oh, the things that summer brings 

G7                 F#7
 It's a love you'd kill for 

                     Bm
And all the world is green 
[Verse 6]
Bm                Em
He is balancing a diamond

A7             D
 On a blade of grass

G7                   F#7 
 The dew will settle on our graves

                      Bm
When all the world is green
