                            It's not that easy bein' green,

having to spend each day the   color of the leaves,

when I think it would be nicer bein' red, or yellow, or

gold, or something much more colorful like that.   It's not

Bbmaj7                  A7+
easy bein' green.       It seems you blend in with so many other

Fm6                     G11
ordinary things,        and people tend to pass you

sparkles on the water, or stars in the sky.

friendly like,  and green can be big like an ocean or im-

portant like a mountain  or  tall like a tree.

        When green is all there is to be, it could make you 

Fm6             G7(sus11)  G7           Cm7
wonder why.  But why wonder, why wonder? I am green, and it'll do fine.

It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be.
