G7 G
I'm a hungry planet
I had a youthful face
C7
They were in a hurry
G7 G
To go outer space
C7
They needed bombs and tungsten
G7 G
Ore and iron
Bb C
So they climbed and they dug and they blew
G7 G
Divided me right in two
(solo)
G7 G
I'm a hungry planet
Orbiting in the sky
C7
The things they did to hurt me
G7 G
Pass on by and by
C7
Now here I am all alone
G7 G
They never ever learn
Bb C
Well I had to shake and quake
G7 G
And make their houses burn
(solo)
G7 G
I'm a hungry planet
I had the bluest seas
C7
Oh the people kept choppin' down
G7 G
All my finest trees
C7
Poisonin' my oxygen
G7 G
Diggin' in my skin
Bb C
Takin' more out of my good earth
G7 G
Than they'll ever put back in
I'm a hungry planet.....
