    A simplified version that's pretty close to the original, the
    difficulty here is that some chords are plucked the other way
    around, e.g. the Am in the intro is plucked on the A string
    then on the E string, working out which are and remembering
    makes this song.
    Don't forget the CAPO on the SECOND fret.
    And the C/B is just a step down from the C chord to the Am chord
    plucked on the A string.
    Hope you enjoy,
                  If you do,

[INTRO]

Am Dm G C

I fell into the ocean, When you became my wife

I risked it all against the sea, To have a better life

Am Dm G C

Marie you are the wild blue sky, And men do foolish things

F E E Am

You turn kings into beggars, And beggers into kings

F C G C

Pretend that you owe me nothing, And all the world is green

F C G C C/B

We can bring back the old days again, When all the world is green

Am Dm G C

The face forgives the mirror, The worm forgives the plough

F E E Am

The question begs the answer, Can you forgive me somehow

Am Dm G C

Maybe when our story's over, We'll go where its always spring

F E E Am

The band is playing our song again, And all the world is green

F C G C

Pretend that you owe me nothing, And all the world is green

F C G C C/B

We can bring back the old days again, When all the world is green

Am Dm G C

The moon is yellow silver, With the things that summer brings

F E E Am

It's a love you'd kill for, And all the world is green

Am Dm G C

He's balancing a diamond, On a blade of grass

F E E Am

The dew will settle on our graves, And all the world is green

F C G C

Pretend that you owe me nothing, And all the world is green

F C G C C/B

We can bring back the old days again, When all the world is green

Am Dm G C

He's balancing a diamond, On a blade of grass

F E E Am

The dew will settle on our graves, And all the world is green
