D5			Fmaj7

Sun Green started makin' waves



C			D5

On the day that Grandpa died



Speakin' out against anything

Unjust or packed with lies

She chained herself to a statue of an eagle

In the lobby of Power Co.



And started yelling through a megaphone,

"There's corruption on the highest floor."

Suits poured out of elevators

"You're all dirty."



Phoneheads began to speak

"You can't trust any of them."

Security couldn't get her down

She was welded to the eagle's beak.

verse    



Sun Green leaned into that megaphone, said,

"Truth is all I seek."

Security brought in some blow torches

News cameras recorded her speech,

"When the city is plunged into darkness

by an unpredicted rolling blackout



The White House always blames the governor

Saying the solution is to vote him out."

On top of that great bronze eagle

Sun's voice was loud and clear. She said,

"Power Co's working with the White House

to paralyze our state with fear."



It was a golden moment		gOlDeN MoMeNt

In the history of TV news

No one could believe it

It just got great reviews

		When up walked a tall stranger

		Shadowed her move to move

		In perfect unison

		A supernatural groove



D5		     F

He took her by the hand				



C		      D5

And the room began to spin

He said, "I'm Earth; Earth Brown.

You know the shape I'm in.



"I'm leavin' tonight for Alaska

And I want you to come in the spring

And be a goddess in the planet wars

And save the living things.



"I'm ready to go right now,"

Sun Green told Earth Brown

"Let's go back to my place,

pick up my cat, and leave this town behind."

D5				  F

Next day Sun Green got busted for pot



C			    D5

And it made the headline news

But then the charges all got dropped

And the story gets confused



‘I'd still like to meet Julia Butterfly

And see what remedy brings

And be a goddess in the planet wars

Try to save the living things



"But that might not be easy

Livin' on the run

Mother Earth has many enemies

There's much work to be done

"Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too.

Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too.

Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too
