|Abmaj7/Bb    |          |Amaj7/B          |               |
                                                       ohhh

Emaj7
Whoa-oh-oh,  oh mercy, mercy me,

C#m7                                        F#m7
       Oh things ain't what they used to be, now, now.


Where did all the blue skies go?

Amaj7/B
     Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east.

Emaj7
        whoa-oh  mercy, mercy me,

C#m7                                          F#m7
         Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.


Oil wasted on the ocean and upon

Amaj7/B
        our seas fish full of mercury,

   Emaj7
oh oh,   oh mercy, mercy me.

C#m7                                            F#m7
      Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no, no.


                                 Amaj7/B
Radiation underground and in the sky;


animals and birds who live near by are dying.


Emaj7                        C#m7
       Ohhh  mercy, mercy me.

                            F#m7
Ah, things ain't what they used to be.


What about this over crowded land?


Amaj7/B
        How much more abuse from man can she stand?
