E                              A                    E
Green the foggy fields of France today I journey through
F#sus4                          A                    E
Green the singer, Al, who sings the way I feel for you
E                               A                    E
Green our love so tender yet, a gift each day made new
F#sus4                          A                   E
Green would be the whole wide world if they our secret knew

[Verse 2]
 E                              A                    E
Blue the little patch of sky peeping through the grey
F#sus4                          A                    E
Blue the colour of your dress the day I went away
E                 A                  G#sus4
Blue the mighty ocean deep keeping us apart
F#sus4             A                   E
Blue the melody I strum on this old guitar

[Chorus]
E                  A                    E
I carry you with me wrapped up in my heart
F#sus4                A                    E
We are the wonder that keeps the stars apart
E                 A                     E
The root of the root and the bud of the bud
F#sus4                            A               E
The deepest of the deepest, the singing in the blood, oh

[Instrumental]
E  A  E  F#sus4 A E A E F#sus4  A  E

[Verse 3]
 E                              A                    E
Gold the feeling that I get as the plane comes into land
F#sus4                          A                    E
Gold the sinking western sun making its fiery bands
E                               A                  G#sus4
Gold the colour of your curls as at the gate you stand
F#sus4                          A                   E
Gold the ring I bring for you to slip on your left hand

[Chorus]
E                  A                    E
I carry you with me wrapped up in my heart
F#sus4                A                    E
We are the wonder that keeps the stars apart
E                 A                  G#sus4
The root of the root and the bud of the bud
F#sus4                            A               E
The deepest of the deepest, the singing in the blood
F#sus4                A                    E
The root of the root and the bud of the bud
F#sus4                A                    E
We are the wonder that keeps the stars apart
