[G#]
[A] [E]
Oh, mercy, mercy me.
[C#m] Oh, things ain't what they used to be.
[A] No, no.
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north, south, [E] and east.
Oh, mercy, mercy me.
[C#m] Oh, things ain't what they used to be.
[A] No, no.
Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas.
Fish full of mercury.
[E] Oh, mercy, mercy me.
[C#m] Oh, things ain't what they used to be.
[A] No, no.
Radiation underground and in the sky.
Animals and birds who live their lives.
[E] Oh, mercy, mercy me.
[C#m] Oh, things ain't what they used to [F#m] be.
What about this [A] overcrowded land?
How much more will you command?
And she [E] said,
You are
[C#m] my soul.
No, [F#m] no, no, no, no.
I'm not [A] your my sweet love. Please.
