It's not easy bein' green
                D MajorD         B7B7
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
             E minor 7Em7                A7A7

It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
          E minor 7Em7
And people tend to pass you over

Or stars in the sky

Or important like a river, or tall like a tree

AaugAaug      D MajorD        F#maj
When green is all there is to be
            D MajorD          B7B7
It could make you wonder why (but why wonder, why wonder ?)
    E7E7               A7A7
