[Intro]
G Am G Gsus2/4

[Verse 1]
G                                      Am          G      Gsus2/4
Born---------- with the moon in cancer,
G                                    Am                    G
Choose--------- her a name she will answer to,
             Am
Call her green, and the winters cannot fade her,
G                C
Call her green for the children who've made her,
          G                        Am            G          Gsus2/4
Little green--------- ...be a gypsy dancer

[Verse 2]
G                                    Am         G Gsus2/4
He----------- went to Cali - fornia,
G                                Am             G
Hear------ing that everything's warmer there,
           Am
So you write him a letter, and say, 'Her eyes are blue',
G     C
He sends you a poem, and she's lost to you,
G                                   Am                 G Gsus2/4
Little green----, he's a non - con - former!

[Chorus]
C
Just a little green,
A#                                    G           G2sus4
Like the colour when the Spring is born----,
                    G              Am                             G      Gsus2/4
There'll be crocuses to bring to school to - morrow-------!
                   C
Just a little green,
               A#                                   G           Gsus2/4
Like the nights when the northern lights per - form,
                  G                 Am
There'll be icicles, and birthday clothes,
         G             Am               G           Gsus2/4
And sometimes ...there'll be sorrow-----------!

[Verse 3]
G                                    Am   G                 Gsus2/4
Child---------- with a child ...pretending-------,
G                               Am   G
Weary---------- of lies ...you are sending home,
            Am
So you sign all the papers in the family name,
G C
You're sad and you're sorry, but you're not ashamed,
G                                 Am             G                Gsus2/4
Now Little green------ ...have a happy ending-------!

[Chorus]
                      C
Just a little green,
                  A#                    G         Gsus2/4
Like the colour when the Spring is born----,
                   G               Am                                 G    Gsus2/4
There'll be crocuses to bring to school to - morrow-------!
                       C
Just a little green,
                A#                                   G              Gsus2/4
Like the nights when the northern lights per - form,
                  G                   Am
There'll be icicles, and birthday clothes,
          G            Am           C      /A        G                Gsus2/4
And sometimes ...there'll be sor------------row!
