Lyrics

[Intro]
| G#/A# | - |

[Verse 1]
A/B    Emaj7
   Woah     oh mercy, mercy me
C#m7
    Oh, things ain't what they used to be,
  F#m7
no    no
Where did all the blue skies go?
F#m7/B
      Poison is the wind that blows from the North and
South and East

[Verse 2]
Emaj7
     Woah, mercy, mercy me
C#m7
    Oh, things ain't what they used to be,
  F#m7
no    no
                                 F#m7/B
Oil wasted on the oceans and upon      our seas
Fish full of mercury

[Verse 3]
  Emaj7
Oh     oh mercy, mercy me
C#m7
    Oh, things ain't what they used to be,
  F#m7
no    no
                                F#m7/B
Radiation underground and in the      sky
                                        Emaj7
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

[Verse 4]
Oh, mercy, mercy me
C#m7
    Oh,
                           F#m7
things ain't what they used    to be
                           F#m7/B
What about this overcrowded      land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
    Emaj7            C#m7
Ooh,     ooh, no, na,    na, na, na, na
   F#m7
Na,    na, na, na, na
          F#m7/B
My, my, oh      my sweet Lord uuh
