Fly me to the earth (1969) (video)

Em C

1. We live in plastic rooms and plastic houses and plastic towns,

D G B7

and even the sky is plastic ceiling painted blue.

Em C

The streets with plastic trees are so unreal, they bring you down,

D B7 - - - - - - - - - -

and it sounds so plastic when people say, „How do you do?”

Em C

Fly me to the Earth where the grass is green,

Cm G - B7

and birds can be seen, that's paradise.

Em C

Fly me to the Earth where the flowers grow,

Cm B7

and where the rivers flow, that's nice.

Em C

2. We dress in plastic clothes, we go in roads but where can we go ?

D G B7

Living in the sky is not living high.

Em C

We leave the land behind, its broken sky, I wonder why,

D B7

oh, some day we will turn to plastic and surely we will die.

+ CHORUS (2x) + Em
