  			Intro: E 

             E 
so then the sky turned weird 

and the sun went down 
                                  E/G  E/F# E 
but it weren't two hours 'fore it came ar - ound 

it was a midnight feast 

such a sheer delight 
                                 E/G E/F# E 
i saw the northern lights then i hit the ground 


A              D 
green, green, keep it clean 
E 
stick all your money up your money machine 
A           D 
green green perfect scene 
        B  
oh it's very very nice here 
         
but i wouldn't wanna live here 



you got your blazing red 
you got your frozen breath 
watch the countryside just bleed to death 
and then the ground turns white 
and the sky turns brown 
and the whole damn world looks upside down 



brown brown dead end town 
just like a-living in a hole in the ground 
brown brown upside down 
well it isn't very nice here 
and i wouldn't wanna live here 



green, green, keep it clean 
stick all your money up your money machine 
green green perfect scene 
oh it's very very nice here 
but i wouldn't wanna live here
