Emaj9
Whoa-oh-oh,  oh mercy, mercy me,

C#m7                                                 F#m7
       Oh things ain't what they used to be, now, now.

Where did all the blue skies go?
F#m9
     Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east.

Emaj9
        whoa-oh  mercy, mercy me,
C#m7                                          F#m7
         Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.

Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
F#m9
        our seas fish full of mercury,

   Emaj9
oh oh,   oh mercy, mercy me.
C#m7                                            F#m7
      Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no, no.
                                 F#m9
Radiation underground and in the sky;

Animals and birds who live near by are dying.

 
Emaj9                               C#m7
       Ohhh  mercy, mercy me.
                            F#m7
Ah, things ain't what they used to be.

What about this over crowded land?
F#m9
        How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Woo ah
Ah Mercy mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east

Woo ah, Mercy, mercy me,
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury

Ah oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My my Lord...
My sweet Lord
