Verse 1:
          G
Mount St. Helens is about to blow up
                    C           G
And it's gonna be a fine, swell day
                   G                Em/A            A         Dsus4
Everything's gonna fall down to the ground and turn grey
          G                                                  C    G
All of my friends, family, and animals are probably going to run away
    C               Em7                   A7   D7    G
But me, I'm feeling curious, so I think I just might stay

The Dow Jones just fell down to zero and it's gonna be a fine, swell day
      C              Bm           Em7          Dsus4    D
And I wonder if it's gonna be as good a day as yesterday
             G
All of these business suits that I've just purchased
              C                G
Gonna have to throw them all away
    C         Cm             Bm     Em7          A7        D7     G
And slip into something more reasonable and then dance the night away

Bridge 1:
             Fm7       Bb7
I'm riding a pony
         Ebmaj7
Into the sunset
             Fm7        Bb7
Everything's green and gold
              Ebmaj7     Eb7
So I'm not in Hell yet
        Fm                    Bb7              F   F/E
And the people who work in my office went on vacation
       Dm7              Dm7/C       Bbm7          Bbm7/Db    Eb7
'Cause they say that I haven't been paying them very much anymore

Verse 3:
D7sus4    G
Mount St. Helens has a pretty cool gift shop

And I haven't been there in a while
                    G/F#        Fm7        Bb      C
And I've been wondering if it's even still there
        G
And the climate has been changing
              C            G
And soon it's gonna change more
          C          Cm         Bm7 Em     A7      D7     G
And we'll figure out all of the details in climate change court

Bridge 2:
                  Fm7   Bb7
Take a ride on my blimp
           Ebmaj7
Oh, it's a very strong blimp
              Fm7             Bb7
You can watch movies and play games
             Ebmaj7
While riding on it
         Am7      Abmaj7         Bbmaj7       Gm7/D
When the sun goes down and the sky burns out
Gm7         Cm7
We'll never slow down

Oh, we're not going down

And it gives no questions
       Am7       Dsus4    D
And it makes no excuses

And it looks so active
