Shades Of Green Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Shades of gre[Em]en
Was [Am]the last thing
that you'd [Em]seen
As you [Dm]left your hungry [Bb]child
And [Eb]kissed him on his [Ab]brow
As you [Gm]walked away
[Cm]And sadly waved [Fm]goodbye
[Bbsus4][Bb][Bbsus4]

[Verse 2]
[Eb]Never gonna kiss his [Gm]lips
or hold [Cm]his hand
[Fm]Nev er gonna see him grow
up, become [Bbsus4]a man
You want [Eb]to shout and tell [Bb]the world
of [Gm]what you've done
[Cm]Although you k[Fm]now you couldn't
provide for [Bbsus4]your son
Now [Eb]you know you did just
[Gm]what you had to [Cm]do
But [Fm]doing what you did still
bothers [Bbsus4]you
But [Eb]time has passed [Bb]and life has
[Gm]moved [Cm]along
[Fm]Neverending memories
still linger [Bbsus4]on
On and on
[Bb]Shades

[Verse 3]
[C]of gre[Em]en
Never [Am]leave your restless dreams
[Em]You can hear[Dm] your baby cry[Bb]
You [Eb]can see him in [Ab]the night
All [Gm]wrapped in green as you
[Cm]left him far behind

[Verse 4]
[Fm]Never [Bbsus4]gonna see[Bb][Eb]
him [Gm]play or run [Cm]about
[Fm]Nev er gonna hear
'momma' ringing out
[Bbsus4]As the thought[Eb] keeps tumblin'
through [Bb]your [Gm]mind each [Cm]day
You [Fm]punish yourself, you bend,
you kneel [Bbsus4]and pray
Oh [Eb]how I wish you [Bb]were me
[Gm]and I were[Cm] you
So [Fm]I could bear this hurt you're
goin' [Bbsus4]through
Take [Eb]my hand and close [Gm]your mind
to what [Cm]you see
Let's [Fm]make a brand new life
for you [Bbsus4]and me
You and [Bb]me[C]

[Verse 5]
Shades of [Em]green
Was the [Am]last thing that you'd [Em]seen
As you [Dm]left your hungry [Bb]child
And [Eb]kissed him on his [Ab]brow
As you [Gm]walked away
And [Cm]sadly waved [Fm]good[Bbsus4]bye

[Verse 6]
[C]Shades of [Em]green
Never [Am]leave your restless dreams
[Em]You can hear[Dm] your baby cry[Bb]
You can [Eb]see him in the n[Ab]ight
All [Gm]wrapped in green as you [Cm]left him

[Outro 1]
far behind
[Fm][Bbsus4][Bb][C][Em]
[Am]
