[Intro]
C C F F
C G C G
G G G7 G7

[Verse 1]
C F C
Little Elba how's the sun in South America
Am E
Does it shine upon the faces of the poor?
F G C Am
Do they see in it the brilliance of the place that's been prepared
F G C
And dwell upon the hope of what's in store
F C F C
Or are they just like me do they only see
F C F G G7
An opportunity to complain about the heat
C F C
And little Elba how's the rain in South America
Am E
Does it fall upon the roof tops of the sick
F G C Am
Do they thank the Lord for coming up with such a great idea
F G C
And dream about a place beyond all this
F C F C
Or are they just like us do they gripe and fuss
F C F G G7
About the rain and mud when they've had too much?

[Chorus]
C G F
Cause I'm just a little jealous
C G F
Of the nothing that you have
C G
You're unfettered by the wealth of
F G G7
Of a world that we pretend is gonna last

[Verse 2]
C F C
Well I'm weary of the spoils of my ambition
Am E
And I'm shackled by the comfort of my couch
F G C Am
Well I wish I had the courage to deny these of my self
F G C
And start to store my treasure in the clouds
F C
Cause this is not my home
F C F C F G G7
I do not belong where the antelope and the buffalo roam

[Chorus]
C G F
And I'm just a little jealous
