Strum
D-DU-UDU
 We live  in the land of plenty
 But many  things aren't plenty anymore
 Like the water from our sink
 They say  is not safe to drink
you  gotta go and buy it at the store.
 Now, we're told there's  a hole in the ozone
Look  whats washing on the beach
 And Lord, I believe
 From the heavens  to the seas
 We're bringing  mother nature to her knees
 So lets
Leave  some blue up above us
 Let's leave  some green  on the ground
 Its only ours to borrow
 Let's save  some for tommorrow
Leave  it and Pass It On Down
 The place where I lived called the canyon
 Where my daddy taught me to swim
 And that water is so pure
 And I'm gonna make sure
 Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him
 Now we all ought to feel just a little bit guilty
 When we look into the eyes of our kids
 Cause brothers, its a fact
 if we take and not put back
 they'll have to pay for all we did
 So lets
 Leave some blue up above us
 Let's leave some green on the ground
 Its only ours to borrow
 Let's save some for tommorrow
 Leave it and Pass It On Down
 Well, there's a change taking place away on the mountains
 Acid rain is falling on the leaves
 And down in Brazil
 The fires are burning still
 How we gonna breathe without them trees?
 Repeat chorus several times until song ends
 and its that easy
