Plateau – Meat Puppets
G, Bb all the way through

G
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau.
Bb
Some belong to strangers, and some to folks you know.
G
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
    Bb
to beautify the foothills, shake the many hands.

(CHORUS:)
Bb			  G            Bb         G          
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about 
Bb
birds.
Bb			     G
You see a lot up there, but don't be scared.
Bb                    G
Who needs action when you got words?

G					Bb
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
    G
and look at what you've done.
Bb
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen,
G
and the work, it was fun.

CHORUS

G						Bb
Many a hand began to scan around for the next plateau.
		G			     Bb
Some say it was Greenland and some say Mexico.
			G				Bb
Others decided it was nowhere, except for where they stood.
		     G					  Bb
Those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could.
