G Am G Gsus2/4
[Verse 1]
G Am G Gsus2/4
Born---------- with the moon in cancer,
G Am G
Choose--------- her a name she will answer to,

Call her green, and the winters cannot fade her,

Call her green for the children who've made her,

Little green--------- ...be a gypsy dancer
[Verse 2]
G Am G Gsus2/4
He----------- went to Cali - fornia,
G Am G
Hear------ing that everything's warmer there,

So you write him a letter, and say, 'Her eyes are blue',

Little green----, he's a non - con - former!

Just a little green,

Like the colour when the Spring is born----,

There'll be crocuses to bring to school to - morrow-------!

Just a little green,
A# G Gsus2/4
Like the nights when the northern lights per - form,

There'll be icicles, and birthday clothes,

And sometimes ...there'll be sorrow-----------!

Child---------- with a child ...pretending-------,
G Am G
Weary---------- of lies ...you are sending home,

So you sign all the papers in the family name,

You're sad and you're sorry, but you're not ashamed,

Now Little green------ ...have a happy ending-------!
