It's not that easy being green;
                             [ch]C7/Bb[/ch]               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.
                                          [ch]C7/Bb[/ch]          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.


                 [ch]Dm/Bb[/ch]          [ch]Gm/Bb[/ch]
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,
   [ch]Adim7[/ch]/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.
