Topic: Song for Earth Day

titleby;Brad Mc Dougall


March 27/07






[D]Its friday night on the [A]planet


[G]The weekend's almost [D]here.


[D]You can't take things for [A]granted


[G]They might just [D]dissapear.


[D]If you think about the [A]planet


[G]It's lagging far [D]behind.


[D]If we all,[A] do our part,


[G]It'll last a long long [D]time


[E]And this thing we call mother [B7]earth


[E]We can't let her slip [B7]away.


[E]We got to take good care [B7]of her,


[E]We gotta find a better [B7]way.



[D]Another day on the [A]planet,


[G]I think I'll go [D]outside.


[D]I'm gonna do my[A] part you you know


to [G]keep her on my [D]side


[D]Everyday on the [A]planet,


[G]Is a blessing in [D]disguise.


[D]If we all,[A]do our part ,


[G]It'll last a long long [D]time.


    The earth caled the other day,we talked about the past,She said "If only there was another way, just so I could last",I said


"Im just one man what can I do?", she said "Don't worry bout it son,soon there'll be nothin left for you".I thought for a minute or two,and invited her for tea,she said "I can't, not today,I have meetings with big execetives. They want to  cut my trees, burn my oil's, mine for coal and tin,I don't know if I can take any more,


when's it all gonna end".




[E]And this thing we call mother[B7] earth,




[E]We can't let her slipp[B7] away.


[E]We got to take good care [B7] of her


[E]We gotta find a better[B7] way



We only have the one eh.

Re: Song for Earth Day

Hi Badeye,

So good your song. We need these constant reminders of our planet.

Recycle, recycle. To me its easy and  the most effective way to help our planet.

Strange how we cannot nurture our planet which  has nurtured humans for millions of years.

Re: Song for Earth Day

Hi Badeye,

There is a lot of truth in this song, we must take care for the envirinment today - tomorow is too late. Nice chord progression.

Am I right in thinking that the part that got screwed up is a spoken part of the song whilst the verse chords are played? If you break the lines up shorter it will probably display OK.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: Song for Earth Day

Hi Roger, the speaking part was a little poem I penned and thought I'd throw it in for earth day. I guess it could be broken down to fit the song, Thanks for your comment.
