[Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
From the green velvet mountains [F] that surround [Eb] me
[Bb] Came a mom and [Gm] dad that gave [Bb] me life
And those simple values that they [Eb] gave will guide me
[Bb] Like a river [F] running day [Bb] and night
To me they represent a [Eb] firm foundation
[Bb] They're a picture [Gm] of true love [Bb] and worth
Never turning their backs on [Abm] one [Eb] another
[Bb] Good people [F] are the salt [Bb] of the earth
[F] They'll all come running if there's someone [Eb] in need
[Bb] They'll reach out when [F] someone's hurt
[Bb] [F] Diamonds and gold [Eb] could not match [G] what they're [C] worth
[Bb] Good [F] people are the salt [Bb] of the earth
[Ab] [Eb] [Bb] [F]
[Bb] Now we owe it to the coming [Abm] [Eb] generation
[Bb] We owe it to our universe
So let's sing it without [Ab] [Eb] reservation
