Intro: Fmaj7, G7
Cmaj7 Baug
It's not that easy being green;
C7/Bb A7
Having to spend each day the colour of the leaves.
Am/D
When I think it could be nicer being red,
Dm/G
Or yellow, or gold,
C G7
Or something much more colourful like that.
C Baug
It's not easy being green.
C7/Bb A7
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things.
Am/D
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're not standing out,
Dm/G
Like flashy sparkles in the water,
C Cmaj7
Or stars in the sky.
Dm/Bb Gm/Bb
But green's the color of Spring.
C9 C/B
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
Am
And green can be big like an ocean,
Adim7/D A/D
Or important like a mountain,
G9 G7
Or tall like a tree.
C Baug
When green is all there is to be,
Dbdim6
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder, why wonder?
Dm
I am green and it'll do fine,
Ddim Dm C
It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be.
