I'm Playing With the Rainforest
words and music by Darryl
Cherney, Randy Hayes and Mokai
Chorus:
(G) I'm playing with the (C) rainforest
(D)That's the wood in (G) my guitar
I'm playing with the (C) rainforest
(D) That's the wood in (G) my guitar
(G) So grab a hold of (C)
that bulldozer
And (D) move it in just a (G) little bit closer
Because that (C) mahogony tree
(D) Will make a fine (G) guitar for me
Now back in Mayan history
Mohagony was a sacred tree
I may not have a Mayan soul
But my guitar has an ozone hole
Thirty-nine million acres a year
Where does the rainforest disappear
In many towns in many bars
Many musicians play many guitars
But now I've noticed that the weather's changed
And my guitar strings are acting strange
Without the rainforest standing there
It's hard to sing when there is no air
