Verse sequence:
Bm              Em    A7              D
I fell into the ocean  and you became my wife
G7           F#7                             Bm
 I risked it all against the sea to have a better life
           Em               A7           D
Marie you are the wild blue sky, men do foolish things
G7              F#7                        Bm
 You turn kings into beggars and beggars into kings

Chorus sequence:
   G                    D           A7               D
Pretend that you owe me nothing and all the world is green
G                      D                   A7               D  D/a(A#m)
 We can bring back the old days again when all the world is green

Verse 2
The face forgives the mirror 
The worm forgives the plow 
The questions begs the answer 
Can you forgive me somehow?

Maybe when our story's over 
We'll go where it's always spring 
The band is playing our song again 
And all the world is green 

Chorus sequence:
   G                    D           A7               D
Pretend that you owe me nothing and all the world is green
G                      D                   A7               D  D/a(A#m)
 We can bring back the old days again when all the world is green

The moon is yellow silver 
Oh, the things that summer brings 
It's a love you'd kill for 
And all the world is green 

He is balancing a diamond 
On a blade of grass 
The dew will settle on our graves
When all the world is green
