Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau.
F#                                               C     
Some belong to strangers, and some to folks you know.

Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
F#                                         C
to beautify the foothills, shake the many hands.

CHORUS

F                        E                          A                   F#
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds.
F                           E
You see a lot up there, but don't be scared.
A                             F
Who needs action when you got words?



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




CHORUS
F                        E                          A                   F#
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds.
F                           E
You see a lot up there, but don't be scared.
A                             F
Who needs action when you got words?




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