D
A
E
The
are at an all -time low
Boats are running aground,
calling for a tow
enough snow and rain
A
But I say there's underworld
activity to blame
E
It's a shame, but it's true
D
A
E
We've got the Great Lakes Blues
then it's pumped into trucks
It's shipped off to places
with drought and big bucks
D
It could be going to the Middle East,
across the sea and far away
A
Or maybe closer to home in Vegas,
Texas or LA
E
There's gonna be hell to pay
D
A
E
For these Great Lakes Blues
A
Some say it's just a cycle,
the same in decades past
Climate change brings evaporation,
but there's too much too fast
D
We look to science and history
instead of criminal acts
A
There's gotta be something else
going on behind our backs
E
I guess no one's sure what to do
D
A
E
So we've got the Great Lakes Blues
which you might think is a good thing
Except for the fact
D

Waterfront property's not
the same anymore
A
It's a chore to reach the water
from what used to be the shore
E
It's so much different than before
D
A
E
And it gives you the Great Lakes blues
You can't help but wonder
what's the deal
Who would have thought fresh water
Was something you could steal
D
Went away for a few years
When I got back it was so strange
A
The lakes weren't so great anymore,
things had changed
D
how many others have them too
A
E
The Great Lakes Blues
A
The lakes, it would seem,
are somehow getting wrecked
And when the water goes away,
there's a trickle down effect
D
From boating to shipping,
to wetlands and fish
A
With numbers all declining,
is it time to make a wish?
more you could do
D
A
E

A
The Chinese fill their tankers
and tow their bags behind
They take our water home
and bottle it,
then sell it back to us online.
D
Corporate brands like Nestle,
Ice Mountain,
and Perrier
to drain out for furs that feed the lakes.
E
It's not too late to regulate it,
D
but till then we'll have those
A
E
Great Lakes Blues.
and we've got pirates
from all around
Politicians in bed with corporations
who buy the rights underground
D
They siphon it in secrecy
faster than nature can replace it
A
Millions of gallons a year
stockpiled for privatization
E
It's time we take a stand
A
E
to lose these Great Lakes blues.
A
Water's everywhere in Michigan,
just like cars.
But the auto industry's gone now,

all the good lakes
E
It's time we take control of our faith
D

and when the last drop is dropped
A
We can afford desalinization
till our oceans are all gone
D
but till then we'll have the
