Intro: G# C# x3
F# C#
G# C#
Meet the son of a Government man
G# C#
and a pillar of salt
G# C#
I was born with blood on my hands and
F# C#
have all signs of a bleeding heart
G# C#
Living high on a giant hog
G# C#
and a mountain so steep
G# C#
keep your head in a hollow log as
F# C# D#m
the ruling fog are about to creep
D#m G#
What have we done?
C# G# F#
How'd we get so far from the sun?
D#m A#m
Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
C# G# F#
where a tiny few catch all of the rays
G# C#
Out beyond the western squalls
G# C#
In an alien land
G# C#
they work for nothing at all
F# C#
they don't know the mall or the lay-away plan
G# C#
Dig yourself a beautiful grave
G# C#
everything you could want
G# C#
Maybe those invisible slaves are
F# C#
too far away for the ghost to
D#m G#
haunt, what will we charge
C# G# F#
for letting go of a claim so large?
D#m A#m
Oh, all of our working days are done
C# G# F#
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
C# G# F#
Get used to their dust in your lungs
Break: C# F# x 3
G# F#
D#m A#m
Is there no way down
C# G#
from this peak to solid ground
D#m A#m
without having our gold teeth
G# F#
pulled from our mouth?
G# F# x 2
C#
G# C#
Make me a drink
G# C#
strong enough
G# C# F#
to wash away the dishwater world
C#
They said was lemonade
G# C#
Walk with me
G# C#
after the show
G# C# F#
Maybe we can find a way
C#
through the minefield in the
D#m G#
snow, what will they charge
C# G# F#
for letting go of a claim so large?
D#m A#m
Oh, all of our working days are done
C# G# F#
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
C# G# F#
Apologies to the sick and the young
F# G# C#
Get used to their dust in your lungs
