Am
Have you heard about big red?
They even brought a beebread rig
To help the flowers in the mean space
They're trying to make that place green

G                   F                 Am
Hope the bees will take away the storm
G                    F                Am
Hope the trees will take away the storm

F                    Dm
Don't know how this whole thing started
 A#                     G
There was a crowd and then we parted
 F                 Dm
Don't know if I'll ever go back
A#                 G
Its a long away across all of this black

Chorus:
F               A#
Here I am in my bucket today
G      Dm
In the middle
F               A#
Here I am in my bucket today
G      Dm
In the middle

They got a mule they call Sal
Bulldozing up canal walls
They're gonna tap that icecap too
When they do they're gonna make that green map blue

The weather is finally getting warm
And the weather is really getting warm
Don't know how this whole thing started
There was a cloud and then it parted
Don't know if I'll ever go back
That's how I felt when I left that tarmac

Chorus
