Bein Green Chords & Lyrics - Van Morrison

[INTRO]
[D] [Daug] [Em7] [A7]
[Aaug]

[VERSE 1]
It's not e[D]asy bein' green[F#maj]
Having to spend each day the co[D]lor of the leaves [B7]
When I think it could be n[Em7]icer bein' red, or yellow or gold [A7]
Or something much more colorful like t[D]hat [Em7] [A7]

[VERSE 2]
It's not e[D]asy bein' green[F#maj]
It seems you blend in with [D]so many other ordinary things [B7]
And people tend to p[Em7]ass you over
'Cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles on the w[A7]ater
Or stars in the s[D]ky [D7]

[BRIDGE]
But g[Gmaj7]reen is the color of spring
A[A7]nd green can be cool and friendly li[D]ke [D7]
And green can be [B7]big like an mountain
Or important like a river[Em] , or tall like a t[A7]ree [A7sus4] [A7]

[CHORUS]
[Aaug]When green is a[D]ll there is to be[F#maj]
It could make you wonder[D] why (but why wonder[B7] , why wonder ?)
I am gr[E7]een and it'll do fine, it's bea[A7]utiful
And it's w[D]hat I want to be [Em7] [A7]

[CHORUS]
[Aaug]When green is a[D]ll there is to be[F#maj]
