[G#]
[A] [E]
Oh, mercy, mercy,
[C#m] all things ain't what they used to be.
[A] Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is what's in the blood from the Lord.
[G#m] Some things, [E] oh, mercy, mercy,
[C#m] all things ain't what they used to [A] be.
Now I'm all oil wasted on the oceans, and upon our seas, fish full of mercury.
[F#m]
[G#m] [E] Oh, mercy, mercy,
[C#m] all things ain't what they used to [A] be.
Now I'm all radiation underground and in the sky, animals and birds who live their blah, blah, [E] blah lives.
Oh, mercy, mercy,
[C#m] all things ain't what they used to [F#m] be.
What about this old, [A] crowded land?
How much more will you command?
And she [E] said,
Oh,
[C#m] the land that's your own,
Now [F#m] I'm all oil and water,
My [A] land, oh my people,
[E]
[F] Free.
