It's Not Easy Being Green

• C

C 
It's not that easy being green 
C/B                          Am 
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves 
Em/G                     Dm/F  
When I think it could be nicer  
                          G 
being red, or yellow, or gold 
                                     C     G     
Or something much more colorful like that 

         C 
It's not easy being green 
C/B                                      Am 
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things 
Em/G                        Dm/F 
And people tend to pass you over 
                                                           G 
'Cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water  
                C       C7 
Or stars in the sky 

                F 
But green's the color of spring 
G                          C               Am 
And green can be cool and friendly-like 
                 Dm 
And green can be big like a mountain 
   F 
Or important like a river 
   G                    G7 
Or tall like a tree 

              C         
When green is all there is to be 
C/B                      Am               
It could make you wonder why 
         Am7        Em/G 
But why wonder why wonder 
Dm/F  
I am green, and it'll do fine 
G                           C 
It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be
