ALL THE WORLD IS GREEN TOM WAITS Bm Em I fell into the ocean A D When you became my wife G Em I risked it all against the sea F# Bm To have a better life Marie, you're the wide blue sky and men do foolish things You turn kings into beggars and beggars into kings Chorus: G D Pretend that you owe me nothing A D And all the world is green G D We can bring back the old days again A D And all the world is green The face forgives the mirror The worm forgives the plough The question begs the answer "Can you forgive me somehow?" Maybe when our story's over We'll go where it's always spring The band is playing our song again And all the world is green Chorus The moon is yellow silver On the things that summer brings It's a love you'd kill for And all the world is green He's balancing a diamond On a blade of grass The dew will settle on our grave When all the world is green Chorus (Solo) He's balancing a diamond On a blade of grass The dew will settle on our grave when all the world is green Chorus ***************************************************************************************** The above is solely MY INTERPRETATION of this great song, in a format aimed at learning guitarists.
