Chords for Formidable Vegetable - Many Many - Nannup Music Festival, 2014

_ _ [E] Alright, we're gonna keep it rolling.
[Dm] This is a little song about [E] using and valuing diversity, [Dm] because, you know, we're [B] losing
biodiversity at a rate of knots, and it's not only [Bm] bad for the planet, but it's bad for us!
Because, I only found this out recently, but our bodies are actually something like 70%
made up [E] of non-human [D] cells.
Which I was like, [C#] what?!
[G] And it's all this [C#] micro-bacteria, [Bm] microbial life, and this [C#] symbiosis of other [Dm] beings inside
of us that [F#] keeps us alive.
So, [D] diversity is like [B] this extremely important thing that we seem to overlook, and so Permaculture's
all about reintroducing that.
And this song's called Many Many Years, [D] about _ [B] listening to more [Dm] than one opinion as well.
[Em] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Em] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] We can [Am] get a bum dance on [Dm] it if you like.
_ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Em] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Em] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ Well if you mix [Em] every color under the sun, [Dm] in time you'll find [Em] that you just have one.
[Dm] Better give them [Em] all a chance to shine, [C#] otherwise you end [B] up with the same thing.
[Dm] It's a delicate [Em] balance here, that applies to you [A] and me.
[D] It's the only way [Am] we stay intact, with [D] a big fat dose of diversity.
_ [C] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [D] _
_ _ Because did you know that our bodies are a [C] billion organisms made [Dm] into one?
There's no [A] telling where the last one ended, or where the [Em] next tiny little [Dm] bacterium begun.
You see, diversity is your friend, and each [Em] food only had one [Dm] flavor.
If everything [A] that you said was right, [Dm] it really [Em] wouldn't work to your [Dm] favor.
Variety's the spice of life, because there's many, many, [C#] many, many different kinds.
[Dm] Many, many, many, [B] many different kinds.
[Dm] Many, many, [C#] many, many different [Dm] kinds.
Yes _ [A] _ [Dm] it is!
_ [C] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [D] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] Oh, [Dm] _ _ [A] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A]
the [Dm] Dixieland Band from heaven!
[G] _ [Dm] So if you liked [Em] everything to look the [F] same, open up and try to get [Dm] past it!
Because it [E] really does make you stronger when you don't put all [B] your eggs in one [Dm] basket.
The more [Em] functioning connections [Dm] develop, you never [A] know what it will [Dm] become.
Mix it [Em] up and keep it [Dm] together.
Let your differences work as one, cause there's many many
[G] Many many small problems, [Dm] small problems, [G] many many [Dm] complexes.
Many many [G] many many many many [Dm] times, many many [D] many many many many times.
Many many many many small problems, [Dm] small problems, many many many many many times.
Many [C] many many small societal [Dm] issues, many many many [G] many many many times.
[Dm] Many many many many small difficulties.

We [Dm] gotta mix it [C] up.
[D] We gotta mix it up.
[Dm] We gotta mix it [C] up.
[Dm] Just mix it up, mix it up, mix it up.
I bring it back, bringing it back, bringing it back to this
Many [E] many many different [Dm] times
_ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Dm] Yeah.
[C] It's on my way, baby, [Dm] baby, baby, [G] baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
