Greenpeace

new lyrics by Darryl Cherney

music: Greensleeves

(Dm) Three brave men set up-(C)on a boat

(Bb) Drifting for the An-(A)chetka Isles

(Dm) Intent on stopping a (C) nuclear test

And they (Bb) sailed on (A) yacht they called (Dm) Greenpeace

Chorus

(F) Greenpeace, you (C) were so bold

(Bb) Greenpeace fought (A) the good fight

(F) Greenpeace was our (C) pride and joy

But (Bb) what ever (A) happened to (Dm) Greenpeace

The media coverage that they sought

Brought them fame and money, too

So they set out to save the whales

In a march larger boat they called Greenpeace

Then they set out to save the seals

And the money rolled in to their tills

So they hired staff and they paid their bills

And bough several more boats they called Greenpeace

Chorus

They fired one of their captains fair

For wrenching the club from a fur traders hand

They said such violence we can't condone

It might hurt the cash flow of Greenpeace

So now an army of canvassers

With pictures of baby seals and such

Comb suburban neighborhoods

And try to make quota for Greenpeace
