Intro:

  Bmin7 

Verse:

(2)                                      Aaug5
A Certain Shade of Green, tell me is that what you need?

(2)                     
All signs around say move ahead,  could someone please explain to me 

                Aaug5
  your ever present lack of speed

(2)                         
Are your muscles bound by ropes? 

                          Aaug5  
Or do crutches cloud your day?

(2)                          
My sources say the road is clear.  

                           Aaug5
And street signs point the way.

Chorus:

                        
Are you gonna wait around till 2012 A.D.

Bmin7                     
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?

                    
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate

Bmin7                     
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?


Second verse same as the first.




Anyone wanting to learn this should listen to the song to figure out the jazzy 
rythm and all the little chord variations mike plays.  and I have no idea how 
to play the solo.
