Verse 1:

Gmaj7		 Bm6	  Am6     G2sus4   G
Born                with the moon in cancer

Gmaj7		 Bm6	  Am6          G2sus4   G7sus2
Choose              her a name she will answer to

Am6                                           (G)
Call her green and the winters cannot fade her

C
Call her green for the children whove made her

     Gmaj7		 Bm6	  Am6    G2sus4   G
Little green               be a gypsy dancer



Verse 2:

Gmaj7		 Bm6   Am6     G2sus4   G
He                  went to california

Gmaj7		 Bm6   Am6     G2sus4   G7sus2
Hearing            that everythings warmer there

Am6                                                 (G)
So you write him a letter and say, her eyes are blue.

C
He sends you a poem and shes lost to you

     Gmaj7		 Bm6 Am6     G2sus4   G
Little green,             hes a non-conformer



Chorus:
              C
Just a little green
            Bb                       G ( G2sus4-G)
Like the color when the spring is born
            Bm6      Am6               G2sus4   G
Therell be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow

                    C
Just a little green
          Bb                                 G ( G2sus4-G)
Like the nights when the northern lights perform
            Bm6          Am6               
Therell be icicles and birthday clothes
       Bm6	Am6           G2sus4   G
And sometimes therell be sorrow



Verse 3:
Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you are sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
Youre sad and youre sorry, but youre not ashamed
Little green, have a happy ending
