xPlateau – 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.
CHORUS
