[Gm] [C] It's a long, long way from Canada, [Ab] a long way from snow chains.
Don't give any slicing [N] coconut, no pie gives to their [C] names.
Blackberry's covered in baking flour, who cooks for the [Gm] carnival song?
We're gonna lay down [N] someplace shady with Greenland coming on.
Greenland, Greenland, Greenland, [G]
Greenland, Greenland,
[Ab] Greenland, Greenland, [G] [Cm] Greenland.
Fortune
[C] hunters all dressed up to follow the drums, marrying up to their love.
Miss Fortune with a rose on her big name bond.
[D] [A] All saints, all sinners shining, [G] eat those trumpets all night long.
Propped up on a samba beat with Greenland coming on.
[N] Greenland, Greenland, Greenland, Greenland, [Ab]
Greenland, [N] Greenland, Greenland,
[Cm] Greenland.
[Ab] Walter and Chris Columbus come a-marching out of the [Gm] waves and claim the beach and all concessions in the [Ab] name of the sunken sleeps.
I wrap that flag around me like a Dorothy LeMourse around him.
We're gonna lay [Gm] down [Ab] somewhere shady with [N] Greenland coming on.
Greenland, Greenland, Greenland, [Ab]
Greenland,
[N] Greenland, Greenland, Greenland, [Cm] Greenland.
[Eb] All [Ab] are dreaming in the great white wonder, walking over a glass of [N] rum.
[Ab] Burning on the inside, it's an audit job seems to come.
[Cm] They're scambling out on the terrace and midnight ramblin' on the lawn as [G] they gleam toward [N] temptation with Greenland coming on.
Greenland, Greenland, [G] Greenland,
[Cm] Greenland,
[Ab] [N] Greenland, Greenland, Greenland, Greenland.
[Ab] On a plane back to winter, [G] shoes full of tropic sand, lady in a foreign [Cm] flag, on the arm of her marvelous [G] man.
[Ab]
For hawk-owls in New York City, [C] for drifts on Myrtle's lawn as they push the recline buttons [G] down with Greenland coming on.
Greenland, [C]
Greenland, Greenland, Greenland, Greenland, [Ab]
Greenland, Greenland, Greenland.
Brick and sand on the great winds and the sun on the [C] Amazon as they push the recline buttons down with Greenland [Cm] coming on.
Greenland, Greenland, Greenland,
[Gm] Greenland, [G]
[C] Greenland, Greenland, Greenland, Greenland.
