All Around the World or the Myth of Fingerprints – Paul Simon

From the Album “Graceland” 1986

VERSE 1:
G+G
Over the mountain
C majorC      D MajorD
Down in the valley
G+G     C majorC   D MajorD
 Lives a former talk show host
G+G      C majorC   D MajorD  G+G   C majorC D MajorD
 Everybody knows his name
         G+G         C majorC D MajorD
He said "There's no doubt about it
     G+G          C majorC D MajorD
It was a myth of fingerprints
   G+G         C majorC
I've seen them all and man
    D MajorD    G+G  C majorC D MajorD
They're all the same

CHORUS:
     G+G
Well, the sun gets weary
    C majorC    G+G
And the sun goes down
G+G
Ever since the watermelon
G+G
And the lights come up
    C majorC     G+G
On the black pit town
                C majorC    G+G
Somebody says, "What's a better thing to do?"
G+G
Well, it's not just me
     C majorC    G+G
And it's not just you
    D MajorD  C majorC     G+G
This is all around the world


VERSE 2:
G+G         C majorC     D MajorD
Out in the Indian Ocean somewhere
G+G         C majorC  D MajorD
 There's a former army post
 G+G         C majorC   D MajorD  G+G  C majorC D MajorD
Abandoned now just like the war
      G+G         C majorC
And there's no doubt about it
D MajorD     G+G    C majorC   D MajorD
It was the myth of fingerprints
G+G          C majorC  D MajorD    G+G  C majorC D MajorD
That's what that old army post was for

CHORUS:
     G+G
Well, the sun gets bloody
    C majorC    G+G
And the sun goes down
G+G
Ever since the watermelon
G+G
And the lights come up
    C majorC     G+G
On the black pit town
                C majorC    G+G
Somebody says, "What's a better thing to do?"
G+G
Well, it's not just me
     C majorC    G+G
And it's not just you
    D MajorD  C majorC     G+G
This is all around the world


VERSE 3:
G+G
Over the mountain
C majorC      D MajorD
Down in the valley
G+G     C majorC   D MajorD
Lives the former talk-show host
G+G         C majorC  D MajorD  G+G   C majorC D MajorD
 Far and wide his name was known
         G+G         C majorC
He said "There's no doubt about it
D MajorD      G+G    C majorC   D MajorD
 It was the myth of fingerprints
G+G         C majorC    D MajorD   G+G  C majorC D MajorD
That's why we must learn to live alone
