Chords for Ray Charles - It's Not Easy Being Green (1991)

_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ It's not that easy being green, _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ having [Db] to spend each [Bbm] day the color of the [C] leaves, _ _ _ _ when
I think it could be [Fm] so much nicer _ [Ab] _ [Fm] being red, _ [Bb] yellow, or gold, or [Abm] something much more [Eb] colorful
like that.
_ _ _ [E] _
I _ _ _ _ _ know it's [Eb] not that _ easy being green, _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
it [G] seems you blend in with so many
other ordinary _ [C] _ things, _ _ and people tend [Fm] to pass you over, _ [C] cause you're not [Fm] standing out
like flashy sparkles on [Bb] the water, _ or [Eb] stars in the sky. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] Green is the color of spring,
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] and [Eb] green can be cool and friendly like that, _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] and I know green [Cm] can be big like an [B] ocean,
_ [Cm] _ _ _ or a [F] garden like a mountain, _ [Fm] or a tug like a _ tree.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] How in green is all there is to be?
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] Well, it can make you wonder why, _ [C] _ but why wonder [Fm] why
wonder I'm green? _
And [Ab] it'll do fine [Bb] cause it's beautiful, _ and I think [Eb] it's what I wanna be.
[E] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [Db] You know green is the color of spring, _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ and _ [Eb] green can be cool and friendly like that,
_ and _ _ _ _ I know _ [Cm] green can be big like an [G] ocean, _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ or a garden like a mountain, _ [Fm] _ or a tug like a tree.
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] Yeah, when green is all there is to be,
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
oh, [E] it can make you wonder why, [Db] _ _ [Ab] but [Eb] why wonder why [Ab] wonder I'm green? _
And it'll do fine cause
it's beautiful, _ [Db] _
_ _ and I think it's what I _ _ _ _ wanna _ [Gb] _
be.
