Blue and green by The Wood Brothers The verses are all the same chords as the first one apart from the last line which changes slightly. Where I've written E4 this is just a normal E chord but with the little finger on the 4th fret of the low E string. I'm sure its not perfect but it sounds okay. This is a really nice song, enjoy... C G Cant you hear your mama talking E F C She told you to hush your idling tongue C G Sit down in your chair boy E F C Eat your supper, leave your brother alone E F D7 G I was once, Just like you E4 Am G C I was green and blue. Well my mother told my father one day How much she had loved her life with him Then she rose up from her body And she vanished in the blue and green spring. E F D7 G She was once, Just like me E4 Am F G C Now shes gone into the blue and green. E F Blue and green, D7 G Blue and green, E4 Am F G C You aint lived till youve seen the blue and green. Well you shouldve seen my grandmother She was strong and tough as any man She was sweet and gentle, When she held you like the lover she used to have. E F D7 G But he was gone, Now so it seems E4 Am F G C But they live on in the blue and green Blue and green, Blue and green, You aint lived till youve seen the blue and green. Blue and green, Blue and green, You aint lived till youve seen the blue and green. Well keep on growing up so fast Life will hit you hard as you can take Well tell me all your troubles boy And I will try and take those troubles away. E F D7 G Cos you were once, Just like me E4 Am F G C We are coming from the blue and green Blue and green, Blue and green, You aint lived till youve seen the blue and green. Blue and green, Blue and green, You aint lived till youve seen the blue and green. Blue and green, Blue and green, E4 Am F You aint lived till youve seen C G Cant you hear your mama talking E F C She told you to hush your idling tongue.
