THE GREEN LINE (key G) (Don Hooper © 2006)

 G                                                    G7                   F#7     F7    G   (bass run)


1. Well the green line takes you anywhere you want    to   go


2. Theres  red and blue but the green line’s     got     my  vote


                   C7                               G7                                       G      G7  D#7    G


1. Yes the green line takes you anywhere you want    to    go


2. Theres  red and blue but the may- or’s       got     my  vote


                      A7                                             D#7     D7       G     (bass run)


1. You don’t need no car you don’t need no bi-       cy-    cle


2. When I asked for directions this    was all      she  wrote


Refrain 1:                G7                                       F#7


                  You wake up in the morning get your breakfast on the street


                     G7                             highG7


                  Starbucks coffee or a Dunkin Donuts treat


 C7                                                                     G7  D#7    G (bass run)


Head for the green line, cruising in par-      a-  dise


  A7                                               D#7   D7      G     (bass run)


This stop, next stop, never at the same  way   twice


          G                            G7             F#7    F7    G   (bass run)


3. At Haymarket station they don’t    sell    no   hay


4. At Harvard square the students all car-  ry  books


          C7                          G7                               G      G7  Ebdim    G


3. At Haymarket station they don’t    sell    no   hay


4. At Harvard square the students all car-  ry  books


                 A7                                      D#7                    D7         G     (bass run)


3. And the cars on the streets are all going a-bout the wrong    way


4. And if you o-     pen    one     they’ll give you that     ah-  ha    look


(what I’m talking about)


Refrain 2: G7                               F#7


                  Clowns on the corner, vendors on the curb


                    G7                                                highG7


                  Nothing could be further from the dead suburbs


C7                                                                       G7  D#7    G (bass run)


Riding on the green line, baby don’t you want to go


  A7                                D#7             D7           G     (bass run)


Next stop, any stop,   liv-   in’ in a Boston show


     G                                                G7                   F#7     F7    G   (bass run)


5. Well the green line takes you anywhere you want  to   go


                C7                               G7                                 G      G7  D#7    G


Yes the green line takes you anywhere you want to go


  A7                             D#7              D7         G     (bass run) end on G7


Next stop, any stop,   liv-   in’ in a Boston show
