          D              F#maj
It's not easy bein' green

                               D                 B7
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves

                          Em7                               A7
When I think it could be nicer bein' red, or yellow or gold

Or something much more colorful like that

It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things

                    Em7
And people tend to pass you over

                                                            A7
'Cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles on the water

Or stars in the sky
[Bridge]
     Gmaj7
But green is the color of spring

 A7                                  D   D7
And green can be cool and friendly like

                 B7
And green can be big like an mountain

                         Em                A7  A7sus4 A7
Or important like a river, or tall like a tree
[Chorus]

When green is all there is to be

                        D                   B7
It could make you wonder why (but why wonder, why wonder ?)

       E7                             A7
I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful

And it's what I want to be
