Verse (Am F C F C G Em Am)
Am          F     C
Washed my face in the rivers of empire
    F      C     G
Made my bed from the cardboard crate
   Em       Am
Down in the city of courts

Verse (Am F C F C G Em Am)
Am     F   C
No news, no new regrets
     F    C    G
Tossed a susan b over my shoulder
  F        Em    Dm
And prayed it would rain and rain
  F     Em      Dm
Submerge the whole western state

Chorus (C F C F Em Am)
     C     F
Called a last fair deal
    C    F
With an american zeal
  Em      Am
and corporate handshake

Verse (Am F C F C G Em Am)
Am        F     C
take the story of carpenter mike
        F       C    G
Who dropped his tools and his keys and left
  F       Em    Dm
And headed out as far as he could
     F    Em       Dm
Past the city and gayday neighbourhoods
    C        F
And he slept 'neath the stars
   C      F
Wrote down what he dreamt
    C     F     Em    Am
And he built a machine for no-one to see
     G      F      C
and took flight first light of new morning
