This is a really cool acoustic version of the song i found on the internet, 
Brandon calls it the "lounge" version.  Sorry but I don't know the names of 
some of these chords.

Verse:

Dmaj7(2)              C#maj7 Cmaj7                      A6 Aaug5
A Certain Shade of Green, tell me is that what you need?

Dmaj7(2)                    C#maj7 Cmaj7
All signs around say move ahead,  could someone please explain to me 

        A6        Aaug5
  your ever present lack of speed

Dmaj7(2)                         C#maj7
Are your muscles bound by ropes? 

Cmaj7                         A6 Aaug5  
Or do crutches cloud your day?

Dmaj7(2)                          C#maj7
My sources say the road is clear.  

Cmaj7                          A6 Aaug5
And street signs point the way.

Chorus:

Dmaj7                    Ebmaj7 Dmaj7   
Are you gonna wait around till 2012 A.D.

Bmin7                     Bbmaj7
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?

Dmaj7                  Ebmaj7  Dmaj7
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate

Bmin7                     Bbmaj7
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?


Second verse same as the first.




Anyone wanting to learn this should listen to the song to figure out the jazzy 
rythm and all the little chord variations mike plays.  and I have no idea how 
to play the solo.
