{ci: Verse 1}
[Bm]I fell into the [Em]ocean
[A]When you became my [D]wife
I [G]risked it [Em]all against the sea
[F#]To have a better [Bm]life
[Bm]Marie you're the [Em]wild blue sky
[A]And men do foolish [D]things
[G]You turn kings [Em]into beggars
[F#]And beggars into [Bm]kings

{ci: Chorus}
Pre[G]tend that you owe me [D]nothing
And [A]all the world is [D]green
[G]We can bring back the [D]old days again
And [A]all the world is [D]green

{ci: Verse 2}
[Bm]The face forgives the [Em]mirror
[A]The worm forgives the [D]plow
The [G]questions [Em]begs the answer
[F#]Can you forgive me [Bm]somehow
[Bm]Maybe when our story's [Em]over
[A]We'll go where it's always [D]spring
The [G]band is [Em]playing our song again
[F#]And all the world is [Bm]green

{ci: Chorus}

{ci: Verse 3}
[Bm]The moon is yellow [Em]silver
[A]Oh the things that summer [D]brings
It's a [G]love you'd [Em]kill for
And [F#]all the world is [Bm]green
[Bm]He is balancing a [Em]diamond
[A]On a blade of [D]grass
The [G]dew will [Em]settle on our grave
[F#]When all the world is [Bm]green
