Verse 1:

		 	       G2sus4   
Born                with the moon in cancer

		 	            G2sus4   G7sus2
Choose              her a name she will answer to

                                           ()
Call her green and the winters cannot fade her


Call her green for the children whove made her

     		 	      G2sus4   
Little green               be a gypsy dancer



Verse 2:

		         G2sus4   
He                  went to california

		         G2sus4   G7sus2
Hearing            that everythings warmer there

                                                 ()
So you write him a letter and say, her eyes are blue.


He sends you a poem and shes lost to you

     		       G2sus4   
Little green,             hes a non-conformer



Chorus:
              
Just a little green
                                    ( G2sus4-G)
Like the color when the spring is born
                                 G2sus4   
Therell be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow

                    
Just a little green
                                            ( G2sus4-G)
Like the nights when the northern lights perform
                                     
Therell be icicles and birthday clothes
       	           G2sus4   
And sometimes therell be sorrow



Verse 3:
Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you are sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
Youre sad and youre sorry, but youre not ashamed
Little green, have a happy ending
