C G
Can't you hear your momma talkin'
Em7 F C C
She told you to hush your idling tongue
C G
Sit down in your chair, boy
Em7 F C C
Eat your supper, leave your brother alone
Em7 F D7 G7
I was once, just like you
Esus4 Am G C
I was green and blue
C G
Well my mother told my father one day
Em7 F C C
How much she had loved her life with him
C G
Then she rose up from her body
Em7 F C
And she vanished in the blue and green of spring
Em7 F D7 G7
She was once, just like me
Esus4 Am G F G C
Now she's gone into the blue and green

Well you should've seen my grandmother
Em7 F C C
She was strong and tough as any man
C G
She was sweet and gentle when
Em7 F C C
she held you like the lover she used to have
Em7 F D7 G7
But he was gone, now so it seems
Esus4 Am G F G C
But they lived on in the blue and green

Blue and green; blue and green

You ain't lived until you've seen the blue and green

Em7 F
Life will hit you hard as you can take
C G
Well tell me all your troubles boy
Em7 F
And I will try and take those troubles away.
Em7 F D7 G7
Cause you were once, just like me

We are coming from the blue and green
