Intro 

Gm        F            Bb 
Make it plastic make it pay 
                      Eb 
Use it up and throw away 
         Cm            D             Bb 
Make another just the same, more or less 



Gm        F            Bb 
Burn our time down to size 
                      Eb 
Send it up into the skies 
           Cm            D           Gm 
Hide the evidence with lies, what a mess 

 

          Fm                 C# 
But we've just come from a meeting 
         Fm                   D# 
And we're sure you'd like to know 
             G#m                  E 
There'll be deep blue skies and clear blue waters

Everywhere you go 



D                               E       B 
Cos everything's coming up roses 
   D 
Or so they tell you 
C#                         C       Am 
Coming up smelling of roses 
    B       Em 
Or so they say 
D                                E       B

Gm        F            Bb 
In the name of energy 
                            Eb 
We give our problems to the sea 
         Cm                     D 
But they'll be back for you and me 
       Gm 
In our haste, we forget 
         F            Bb 
Leaving our mistakes behind 
         Gm              D# 
Out of sight is out of mind 
       Cm         D 
Our disposable mankind 
         Gm 
What a waste 



         Fm                 C# 
But we've talked to the experts 
         Fm                 D# 
And they know a thing or two 
             G#m          E 
They say it's all hunky dory 
             G#m            B 
There's nothing for you to do 
     D                           E       B 
and everything's coming up roses 
  D

But it's an awful price we pay 
                           C# 
Believing everything they say 
                      F#              F#7 
Here tomorrow gone today_________yyyyyyy 

So take me home to the red red skies and the

Brown, brown grass and the black, black seas 
           Fm                 D# 
And the broken glass and the dead, dead trees 
         G#m                 E 
But everything's coming up roses 
           G#m       B
