Pass It In Down

 
                 A                   G 
We live in the land of plenty 
    D                            A            
But many things aren't plenty anymore 
         A                         G 
Like the water from our sink, they say it?s not safe to drink 
D                              A                
You gotta go and buy it at the store 
           G                          A 
Now, we're told there's a hole in the ozone 
G                         A    
Look whats washing on the beach 
    A                        G 
And Lord, I believe from the heavens to the seas 
      D                             A 
We're bringing Mother Nature to her knees 
 
         D 
So let?s leave some blue up above us 
      Cadd9      G            A 
Let's leave some green on the ground 
     A                          G 
It?s only ours to borrow, let?s save some for tomorrow 
D                       A 
Leave it and pass it on down 
 
 
Well, there's a change taking place way on the mountains 
Acid rain is falling on the leaves 
And down in Brazil, the fires are burning still 
How we gonna breathe without them trees 
 
Chorus 
 
The place where I lived called the canyon 
Where my daddy taught me to swim 
And that water is so pure and I'm-a gonna make sure 
Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him 
Now we all ought to feel just a little bit guilty 
When we look into the eyes of our kids 
Cause brothers, its a fact, if we take and don?t put back 
They'll have to pay for all we did
