[Intro 1]
[F][Dm][Ddim][C][E][Am][Em][F][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[F]10
Bil[Fm]lion
Blades
of grass
[C]And eac[E]h looks like the oth[Am]ers
[F]One big[Fm] family
[C]Cousins, sib[E]lings, dads, and m[Am]others
[F]Ten billion blades of gra[G]ss
[F]In the sunshine on the[G] hill[F]
And I know when it [G]rains
It [C]gives each one a [F]thrill
Fresh [Dm]little [Ddim]blades [C]of grass,
dan[E]cing in [Am]the breeze[Em][G]
[F]It's a [Fm]pleasure to be mov[C]ing in
[E]every blade of [Am]grease[F]
Sleepy blades of [G]grass,
[F]and each gives out a yaw[G]n
[F]The sprinklers wake them [G]up
at the [C]breaking of the dawn
[F]And mos[Am]t people think that gra[C]ss is quiet
[E]They never [Am]listen closely,
[C]they need to try it
Put an [F]ear to the ground,
then [Fm]hear the sound
At [C]first just a smattering,
suddenly a chattering
[Ab]Echoes from the earth,
it [Bb]soon gives birth
To [Eb]something so surprising,
a [Cm]billion voices rising
Up[Bb]wards and in mass,
[G]it's the symphony of
[C]Ten billion [F]grains of [C]rice[F]
[C][F][C][F][C][F][C]
[F]Tender shoot[Fm]s beneath
the [C]clouds
[E]Straight and so se[Am]rene[Em]
[F]Living lif[Fm]e tog[C]ether
As a [E]tapestry of [Am]green[F]
Patient and so [G]still, [F]shimmering with [G]dew
[F]All glad to [G]meet the sun,
knowing [C]every day is [F]new
But [Am]most people think that [C]grass is quiet
[E]They never [Am]listen closely,
they [C]need to try
it
Put an [F]ear to the ground, then [Fm]hear the sound
It [C]bursts just a smattering,
suddenly unshattering
[Ab]Echoes from the earth,
it [Bb]soon gives birth
To [Eb]something so surprising,
a [Cm]billion voices rising, [Bb]upwards and in mass
[G]It's the symphony of [C]ten
billion [F]blades of [C]grass[F]
[C]Ten billion [F]blades of [C]grass[F]
[C]Ten billion [F]blades of [C]grass
[F]Ten billio[Dm]n blades of gra[C]ss,
and [E]each looks like the oth[Am]er.
