VERSE 1
********
D
Wouldn't it be great to see the African plains
G
Before they lay them to waste and only the bones remain
F#m G
Wouldn't it be poetry to shoot holes in the poachers we see
F#m
With an elephant gun
E|E|E|E|E|E|E|E|-----------------------||||||||
[Refrão]
CHORUS
*******
D Em D
Men in helicopters fly
G F#m
Shooting rhinos from out of the sky
D G
Why do we always assume the planet is ours to ruin
[Próxima Parte]
F#m G
Oh what legacy we're leaving behind
What a legacy
E|E|E|E|E|E|E|E|-----------------------||||||||
VERSE 2
********
D
Wouldn't it be something for the men killing dolphin
G
To be caught up by their necks in their greedy fishing nets
F#m G
Wouldn't it be irony if the tuna fish canneries
F#m
Were to fall into the sea
E|E|E|E|E|E|E|E|-----------------------||||||||
BRIDGE
*******
D Em D
The dolphins and the whales still left alive
Em F#m
Cry to the stars in the deep blue night
D G
There's nowhere to hide, the people on earth will not be denied
D G F#m G
What a legacy we're leaving behind
F#m G
What a legacy
E|E|E|E|E|E|E|E|-----------------------||||||||
VERSE 3
********
D
Wouldn't it be odd if there really was a God
G
And He looked down on earth and saw what we've done to her
F#m G F#m G
Wouldn't it be just if He pulled the plug on us
F#m
And took away the sun
E|E|E|E|E|E|E|E|-----------------------||||||||
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
E|E|E|E|E|E|E|E|-----------------------||||||||
BRIDGE
*******
Em D
Oh why the dolphins alive
G F#m
I cry to the deep blue night
D G
There's nowhere to hide, the people on earth will not be denied
D
What a legacy we're leaving behind
