 C                                                   Em 
It's not easy bein' green
 Em 
Having to spend each day
 C7 
The color of the leaves
 F                                                 Am 
When I think it could be nicer
                               G7 
Bein' red or yellow or gold
                                               C 
Or something much more colorful like that
 C                                               Em 
It's not easy being green
 Em 
It seems you blend in
 C7                                                                     F 
with so many other ordinary things
 F                                                                 Am 
And people tend to pass you over
 Am 
'Cause you're not standing out
 G7 
Like flashy sparkles in the water
       C 
Or stars in the sky
                                 Bb 
But green's the color of the spring
           F                                       C                               Em6 
And green can be cool and friendly-like
                                   F 
And green can be big like a mountain
 G 
Or important like a river
 F                                     G(ºr 
Or tall like a tree
                             C 
When green is all there is to be
 Em 
It could make you wonder why
 C7                           F 
But why wonder why wonder
 Am 
I am green, and it'll do fine
 G                                                               C 
It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be
