Where did all the blue skies go?
Aadd9                                                       [ Emaj7 ]

Radiation underground and in the sky
                                           [ Emaj7 ]
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

What about this overcrowded land
         Aadd9                         [ Emaj7 ]
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
