(The low bass D string is only played at the very end of the song, in the last chord
which gives a very nice effect of relaxation!!)
I've indicated the fingering of the right hand for the intro.
During the rest of the song the thumb (p) always plays the 4th and 5th,
and the three fingers(i,m,a) play 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string.
The time signature is 8/8 (3+3+2) most of the time,
but sometimes changes to 4/4 for one measure (e.g. bar no 2 in the intro)
('H' means Hammer on)

Born with the moon in Cancer
Choose her a name she will answer to
Call her Green, and the winters cannot fade her
Call her Green for the children who've made her
Little Green, be a gypsy dancer
He went to California
Hearing that everything's warmer there
So you write him a letter and say "Her eyes are blue"
He sends you a poem and she's lost to you
Little Green, hе's a non-conformer
Just a little Green
Like thе color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little Green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow
Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you are sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
You're sad and you're sorry, but you're not ashamed
Little Green, have a happy ending
Just a little Green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little Green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow

OPEN TUNING: D-G-D-G-B-D (Open G tuning)
Top and bottom E strings tuned DOWN to D
A string tuned DOWN to G
CAPO: 4th fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of B)
N.B. To play along with the original recording on the 'Blue' album
requires further tuning down of all of the strings to be
slightly flat of concert pitch. With a chromatic tuner it is,
very approximately, minus 30.
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:

Born with the moon in Cancer
Choose her a name she will answer to
Call her Green, and the winters cannot fade her
Call her Green for the children who've made her
Little Green, be a gypsy dancer
He went to California
Hearing that everything's warmer there
So you write him a letter and say "Her eyes are blue"
He sends you a poem and she's lost to you
Little Green, hе's a non-conformer
Just a little Green
Like thе color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little Green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow
Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you are sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
You're sad and you're sorry, but you're not ashamed
Little Green, have a happy ending
Just a little Green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little Green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow
