guitar chords lyrics
Runrig - Our Earth Was Once Green
Capo on 3rd fret.
INTRO
Am, Am, G, Am
Am
Across the skies the monuments stand
C G Am
Shrines of wonder, man worshipping man
Am C G Am
Computer ethics mock a dying land
Am
Down below like rats in a cage
C G Am
Success, survival, two needles in hay
Am C G Am
It's Romans One facing Satan's stare
CHORUS:
G C
But mountains
Em
Are holy places
Am F
And beauty is free
C F
We can still walk
C G
Through the garden
Am
Our earth was once green
Am, Am, G, Am
VERSE 2 + 3
[Play Same chords from verse 1]
BRIDGE:
(Played over the 'Hi i hi i hi i hi i' verse)
C, G, Am, Am
Enjoy!
LYRICS
Pull down the forests we need more wood
Extend the grazing we need more food
Burning our bridges before the flood
Out on the oceans where it's relatively safe
It's not so easy being big as a whale
We're all in a race on a bigger scale
Homosapien, I've had enough
Homosapien, I'm giving up
At best your wisdom's a shot in the dark
So make yourself pretty, make yourself rich
Leopardskin, sealskin, money and sex
Apartheid, genocide, thalidomide, life
It's your choice
