any revisions/corrections welcome, its very easy and barre
chords sound nice when convenient to the player

    A                     G
We live in the land of plenty
      D                                     A
But many things aren't plenty anymore

Like the water from our sink
        G
They say is not safe to drink
D                                           A
you gotta go and buy it at the store.
                G                                   A
Now, we're told there's a hole in the ozone
G                                   A
Look whats washing on the beach

And Lord, I believe
            G
From the heavens to the seas
        D                                       A
We're bringing mother nature to her knees

So lets
CHORUS
D
Leave some blue up above us
        C/G         D               A
Let's leave some green on the ground

Its only ours to borrow
         G
Let's save some for tommorrow
D                                   A
Leave it and Pass It On Down



The place where I lived called the canyon
Where my daddy taught me to swim
And that water is so pure
And I'm gonna make sure
Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him

Now we all ought to feel just a little bit guilty
When we look into the eyes of our kids
Cause brothers, its a fact
if we take and not put back
they'll have to pay for all we did

So lets
CHORUS
Leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
Its only ours to borrow
Let's save some for tommorrow
Leave it and Pass It On Down

Well, there's a change taking place away on the mountains
Acid rain is falling on the leaves
And down in Brazil
The fires are burning still
How we gonna breathe without them trees?

Repeat chorus several times until song ends
