All The World Is Green Chords

(ver. 1)
Tom Waits
[Intro]
Bm Bm/F# x4

[Verse]
Bm              Em    A7               D
I fell into the ocean   and you became my wife
G7           F#7                F#7                  Bm
 I risked it all against the sea    to have a better life
          Em                A7             D
Marie you are the wild blue sky, men do foolish things
G7              F#7                 F#7          Bm
 You turn kings into beggars    and beggars into kings


[Chorus]
   G                    D           A                D
Pretend that you owe me nothing and all the world is green
G                      D                   A                D   
 We can bring back the old days again when all the world is green


[Verse 2]
Bm                      Em      A7                      D
  The face forgives the mirror,   the worm forgives the plow 
G7              F#7             F#7                 Bm
  The questions begs the answer,    Can you forgive me somehow?
           Em                A7                     D
Maybe when our story's over,    we'll go where it's always spring 
G7            F#7                     F#7                 Bm
  The band is playing our song again,    all the world is green 


[Chorus]


[Verse]
Bm             Em             A7                    D
   The moon is yellow silver,   oh, the things that summer brings 
G7                  F#7       F#7                       Bm
  It's a love you'd kill for,      and all the world is green 
Bm            Em              A7              D
   He is balancing a diamond,   on a blade of grass 
G7            F#7                  F#7                   Bm
 The dew will settle on our graves,     all the world is green

[Chorus]
