Gm 
I once ate a bug that was the color green 
Gm 
But the e.r. said it was a poisonous thing 
E                C 
So that explains why I threw up green and 
C 
Inside that green there were chunks of green 
F 
I bet you wish you hadn't listened to green

Why didn't you change that one? 

N.C.             C

The ocean is a place where many creatures live 
C 
It's the deep blue sea 
Gm 
And it'll kill you to death

Especially if you are on titanic, so let that sink in. pun intended

Please don't hurt me
