Verse 1:
    C majorC       FF       C majorC
Little Elba how's the sun in South America
    A minorAm             E MajorE
Does it shine upon the faces of the poor?
    FF       G+G         C majorC          A minorAm
Do they see in it the brilliance of the place that's been prepared
  FF       G+G        C majorC
And dwell upon the hope of what's in store
      FF     C majorC     FF   C majorC
Or are they just like me do they only see
    FF  C majorC     FF        G+G  G7G7
An opportunity to complain about the heat

      C majorC       FF       C majorC
And little Elba how's the rain in South America
    A minorAm               E MajorE
Does it fall upon the roof tops of the sick
    FF         G+G       C majorC       A minorAm
Do they thank the Lord for coming up with such a great idea
   FF      G+G        C majorC
And dream about a place beyond all this
      FF     C majorC      FF    C majorC
Or are they just like us do they gripe and fuss
     FF    C majorC        FF    G+G  G7G7
About the rain and mud when they've had too much?

Chorus:
            C majorC    G+G FF
Cause I'm just a little jealous
            C majorC  G+G FF
Of the nothing that you have
             C majorC     G+G
You're unfettered by the wealth of

Of a world that we pretend is gonna last

     C majorC      FF       C majorC
Well I'm weary of the spoils of my ambition
    A minorAm              E MajorE
And I'm shackled by the comfort of my couch
    FF       G+G      C majorC       A minorAm
Well I wish I had the courage to deny these of my self
   FF        G+G        C majorC
And start to store my treasure in the clouds
       FF   C majorC
Cause this is not my home
   FF   C majorC       FF  C majorC      FF    G+G  G7G7
I do not belong where the antelope and the buffalo roam

Chorus:
            C majorC    G+G FF
And I'm just a little jealous
            C majorC  G+G FF
Of the nothing that you have
             C majorC     G+G
You're unfettered by the wealth of
   FF                G+G G7G7
Of a world that we pretend is gonna last


Bridge:
                  FF   A minorAm G+G
Well they say God's blessed us with plenty
             FF    A minorAm G+G G7G7
I say you're blessed with poverty
     FF
Cause you never stop to wonder
     A minorAm       A augmentedA       FF    G+G      C majorC  FF G+G G7G7
Whether earth is just a little better than the land of the free


Outro:
   C majorC          FF       C majorC
So I hope you're safe and dry in South America
     A minorAm              E MajorE
Cause I'm feeling pretty good in Tennessee
      FF      G+G         C majorC       A minorAm
But may you never be so happy that you forget about your home
   FF      G+G     C majorC
Your home in the land of the free
