D             Em   
One blue sky above us 
                G          D   
One ocean, lapping all our shores   
Em           G         Em     
One earth so green and round 
A                 D    
Who could ask for more?  
                 Em   
And because I love you

D                     Em    
Some wanna be like an ostrich 
G                       D   
Bury their heads in the sand  
Em                  G  
And some hope their plastic dreams  
       A                 D   
Will unclench all greedy hands   
                       Em       
Some want to take the easy way 
Em          G                          D   
Poisons and bombs, they think we need 'em   
                         Em           G       
Don't you know you can't kill all the unbelievers   
A                      D     
There's no shortcut to freedom  
              Em    
And because I promised  
G            A        D    
I’ll give it one more try 
Em         G       Em   
To show my rainbow race 
A             Dadd9             Em  A  D   
It’s too soon, it’s too soon to die

It’s too soon, it’s too soon to die

It’s too soon to die, it’s too soon to die

It’s too soon to die, it’s too soon to die

One earth so green and round
