A G

We live in the land of plenty

D A

But many things aren't plenty anymore

A G

Like the water from our sink, they say it’s not safe to drink

D A

You gotta go and buy it at the store

G A

Now, we're told there's a hole in the ozone

G A

Look whats washing on the beach

A G

And Lord, I believe from the heavens to the seas

D A

We're bringing Mother Nature to her knees

Chorus:

D

So let’s leave some blue up above us

Cadd9 G A

Let's leave some green on the ground

A G

It’s only ours to borrow, let’s save some for tomorrow

D A

Leave it and pass it on down

Well, there's a change taking place way on the mountains

Acid rain is falling on the leaves

And down in Brazil, the fires are burning still

How we gonna breathe without them trees

Chorus

The place where I lived called the canyon

Where my daddy taught me to swim

And that water is so pure and I'm-a gonna make sure

Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him

Now we all ought to feel just a little bit guilty

When we look into the eyes of our kids

Cause brothers, its a fact, if we take and don’t put back

They'll have to pay for all we did

Chorus
