Ab5 C#5 x3
F#5 C#5

Ab5                      C#5
Meet the son of a Government man
Ab5               C#5
and a pillar of salt
Ab5                   C#5
I was born with blood on my hands and
      F#5                 C#5
have all signs of a bleeding heart

Ab5                 C#5
Living high in a giant hog
Ab5            C#5
and a mountain so steep
Ab5                     C#5
keep your head in a hollow log as
      F#5             C#5
the ruling fog are abound to creep

Eb5           Ab5
What have we done?
C#5               Ab5           F#5
How'd we get so far from the sun?
Eb5                Bb5
Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
         C#5            Ab5          F#5
where a tiny few catch all of the rays

Ab5                  C#5
Out beyond the western squalls
Ab5            C#5
In an alien land
Ab5               C#5
they work for nothing at all
            F#5                     C#5
they don't know the mall of the layaway plan

Ab5                  C#5
Dig yourself a beautiful grave
Ab5              C#5
everything you could want
Ab5                C#5
Maybe those invisible slaves are
     F#5                   C#5
too far away for the ghost to


Eb5                Ab5
haunt, what do we charge
      C#5              Ab5       F#5
for letting go of a claim so large?
Eb5             Bb5
Oh, all of our working days are done
       C#5                 Ab5          F#5
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
      C#5         Ab5            F#5
Get used to the dust in your lungs

Ab5

         Eb5     Bb5
Is there no way down
           C#5             Ab5
from this peak to solid ground
   Eb5              Bb5
without having our gold teeth
                  Ab5     F#5
pulled from our mouth?

Ab5  F#5 x 2
C#5 (stop)

Ab5    C#5
Make me a drink
Ab5       C#5
strong enough
Ab5        C#5                  F#5
to wash away with dishwater world
        C#5
They said was lemonade

Ab5    C#5
Walk with me
Ab5        C#5
after the show
Ab5      C#5          F#5
Maybe we can find a way
             C#5
through the mine field in the


Eb5              Ab5
snow, what do we charge
      C#5              Ab5       F#5
for letting go of a claim so large?
Eb5             Bb5
Oh, all of our working days are done
       C#5                 Ab5          F#5
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
  C#5              Ab5            F#5
Apologies to the sick and the young
      C#5         Ab5            F#5
Get used to the dust in your lungs
