it’s not easy being green

it seems you blend in
Fm/G# Gsus4
with so many other ordinary things
G Cm7
and people tend to pass you over
F7
’cause you’re not standing out

like flashy sparkles in the water
A#
or stars in the sky

[ ch ] Cm7/G# [ /Ch ] ( ab7m9 ) C#maj6
but green’s the color of the spring
A# A#maj
and green can be cool and friendly – like
Gm7 C7

or tall like a tree

A# aaug
when green is all there is to be

Gsus4 G
but why wonder why wonder
Cm7
