The Byrds     Hungry Planet  written by McGuinn/Battin/Fowley

1-2,1-2

G7 to G
I'm a hungry planet

I had a youthful face
C7
They were in a hurry
G7 to G
To go to outer space
C7
They needed bombs and tungsten
G7 to G
Ore and iron too
Bb                                    C
So they climbed and they dug and they blew
                    G7 to G
Divided me right in two

SOLO

G7 to G
I'm a hungry planet

Orbiting in the sky
C7
The things they did to hurt me
G7 to G
Pass on by and by
C7
Now here I am all alone
G7 to G
They never ever learn
Bb                      C
Well I had to shake and quake
                      G7 to G
And make their houses burn

SOLO

G7 to G
I'm a hungry planet

I had the bluest seas
C7
Oh the people kept choppin' down
G7 to G
All my finest trees
C7
Poisonin' my oxygen
G7  to G
Diggin' into my skin
Bb                         C
Takin' more out of my good earth
                           G7  to G
Than they'll ever put back in

I'm a hungry planet.....
