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
