Grass Is Blue

Dolly Parton

Key of C · Chords: I IV V vi

Verse 1

C
I've had to think up a way to survive
F                                    C
Since you said it's over told me goodbye
I just can't make it one day without you
F                         G7         C
Unless I pretend that the opposite's true

Chorus 1

Am          G7        F           C
Rivers flow backwards valleys are high
F                              C
Mountains are level truth is a lie
Am            G7   F                C
I'm perfectly fine and I don't miss you
F                G7               C
The sky is green and the grass is blue

Verse 2

How much can a heart and a troubled mind take
F                                     C
Where is that fine line before it all breaks
Can one end their sorrow just cross over it
F                      G7       C
And into that realm of insanity bliss

Chorus 2

Am                  G7      F                  C
There's snow in the tropics there's ice on the sun
F                                    C
It's hot in the Arctic and crying is fun
Am            G7  F                  C
And I'm happy now and I'm glad we're through
F                    G7               C
And the sky is green and the grass is blue

Chorus 3

Am                  G7            F            C
And the rivers flow backwards and my tears are dry
F                                     C
Swans hate the water and eagles can't fly
Am              G7           F        C
But I'm alright now now that I'm over you
F                    G7               Am
And the sky is green and the grass is blue
F                    G7               Am
And I don't love you and the grass is blue
