G 355433 Esus2 x57755 Csus2 x35533 Em7 x79787
on some concerts he plays this on the Du-du-du-du-dudu-du-du-du though I don't recommend you play this unless you have other instruments backing you up
[Verse 1] G Whenever my head starts to hurt Esus2 Before it goes from bad to feeling worse Csus2 I turn off my phone
I get down low G And put my hands in the dirt
[Verse 2] G I try to stop the world from moving so fast Esus2 Try to get a grip on where I'm at Csus2 and simplify
This dizzy life GCsus2 And put my feet in the grass
[Chorus] G I'm going back to the earth Esus2 I'm going back to the earth Csus2 I'm going back to work G I'm going back to the earth
GEsus2Csus2G Du-du-du-du-dudu-du-du-du
[Verse 3] G The only explanation for a high rise Esus2 Must be that everybody wants to get high Csus2 And move on up
To a deluxe GEsus2 Apartment in the sky
[Verse 4] G Well, the higher we go, the taller we grow Esus2 We lose sight of the land below Csus2 Well, you can have your place
in outer space G 'Cause my home is where my food is grown
[Chorus] G I'm going back to the earth Esus2 I'm going back to the earth Csus2 I'm going back to work G I'm going back to the earth

(All right lets get the rest in over this bridge)
[Bridge] Em7 We are animals (we are animals) G We are wild (we are wild) Csus2 We started with the motion
At the bottom of the ocean Esus2Em7 Now we're swinging from the tops of the trees
Em7 We are animals (we are animals) Esus2 We are wild (we are wild) Csus2 And to truly be forgiven
We must all get back to living Esus2 With the land in harmony
Csus2 I'm going back to the earth G I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back
GEsus2Csus2G Du-du-du-du-dudu-du-du-du
[Outro] G I listen to the whistle in the wind Esus2 Its blending in with the song of the birds Csus2 The messages remind me who I am G That I'm a child of the earth
Em7 It's where I found spirituality Esus2 It's in everything that surrounds me Csus2 I can't spell God G-O-D G I spell it N-A-T-U-R-E
[Chorus]
(sometimes he just claps here) G I'm going back to the earth Esus2 I'm going back to the earth Csus2 I'm going back to work G I'm going back to the earth
