[Intro]
D  Daug  Em7  A7
Aaug

[Verse 1]
          D              F#maj
It's not easy bein' green
                               D                 B7
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
                          Em7                               A7
When I think it could be nicer bein' red, or yellow or gold
                                      D   Em7 A7
Or something much more colorful like that

[Verse 2]
          D              F#maj
It's not easy bein' green
                           D                             B7
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
                    Em7
And people tend to pass you over
                                                            A7
'Cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles on the water
                 D  D7
Or stars in the sky

[Bridge]
     Gmaj7
But green is the color of spring
 A7                                  D   D7
And green can be cool and friendly like
                 B7
And green can be big like an mountain
                         Em                A7  A7sus4 A7
Or important like a river, or tall like a tree

[Chorus]
Aaug           D                F#maj
When green is all there is to be
                        D                   B7
It could make you wonder why (but why wonder, why wonder ?)
       E7                             A7
I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful
          D                Em7 A7
And it's what I want to be


[Instrumental]

D   F#maj D  B7
Em7  A7   D  D7

[Bridge]

    Gmaj7
But green is the color of spring
 A7                                  D   B7
And green can be cool and  friendly-like
                 B7                 E7
And green can be big like and ocean
                              Em              A7  A7sus A7
Or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree

[Chorus]
Aaug           D                F#maj
When green is all there is to be
                        D                   B7
It could make you wonder why (but why wonder, why wonder?)
       Em7                 A7                 D        B7
I am green and I'll do fine, and it's what I want to be

[Outro]
      Em7                  A7
I am green and I'll do fine, it's beautiful
               N.C                 D Daug D
And I think it's what I want to be
