🎸 Verse 1:
  FF
I woke up from an awful dream
  A minorAm
In June of two thousand sixteen
   A#A#                FF   C majorC
In a far right fake news fucked up universe
   FF
And though we sang the Mountain Goats
    A minorAm
Loud enough to bruise our throats
 A#A#                  FF     C majorC
Every year that followed still got worse and worse
    A#A#                FF         C majorC
And I read the warning signs of these dark and troubled times
     A#A#                FF   C majorC
Now I'm trying to keep my head above the water line
   A#A#
I'm losing sleep on sleeping masses
 FF          C majorC
Counting sheep and greenhouse gases
   A#A#
As doomsday clocks and TikToks
      C majorC
Say we're running out of time

🎸 Chorus:
          FF        C majorC
But I think this world's a fixer upper
    DmDm       C majorC       A#A#
Broken in the middle of a salvage yard
           C majorC
And I know it will be hard
      FF        C majorC
All we've got now is each other
      DmDm        C majorC          A#A#
And we're overwhelmed and Wondering where to start
            C majorC
Yeah I know it will be hard
 A#A#
Maybe I'm delusional
    C majorC
But I think it could be beautiful
  FF        C majorC         DmDm   C majorC
If we could only keep from losing heart
        A#A#
Then we might still
       C majorC                FF
Have time to build something better from the parts

🎸 Interlude:
FF C majorC DmDm C majorC
A#A#  C majorC

🎸 Verse 2:
   FF
When I was young and still naive
  A minorAm
I thought that it was guaranteed
    A#A#                    FF   C majorC
That things would change for better, Not for worse
   FF
But now the place I'm born and grown
  A minorAm
Is pillaged like the end of Rome
  A#A#                 FF   C majorC
It feels just like we're going ninety in reverse
   A#A#
As misinformation thrives
     FF        C majorC
We are fighting for our lives
     A#A#                      FF     C majorC
Just to make sure when the smoke clears there'll be anything left
   A#A#
The road ahead feels bleak and jaded
FF        C majorC
All my future hopes are faded
   A#A#              C majorC
I'm sinking, overthinking, overdrinking and bereft

🎸 Chorus:
          FF        C majorC
But I think this world's a fixer upper
    DmDm       C majorC       A#A#
Broken in the middle of a salvage yard
           C majorC
And I know it will be hard
      FF        C majorC
All we've got now is each other
      DmDm        C majorC          A#A#
And we're overwhelmed and wondering where to start
            C majorC
Yeah I know it will be hard
 A#A#
Maybe I'm delusional
    C majorC
But I think it could be beautiful
  FF        C majorC         DmDm   C majorC
If we could only keep from losing heart
        A#A#
Then we might still
       C majorC                FF   C majorC
Have time to build something better from the parts
DmDm      C majorC         A#A#    C majorC
 Something better from the parts

🎸 Bridge:
     A#A#
So don't mourn we will organise
 FF        C majorC
Stronger when we unionise
   A#A#
The sorrow shining in your eyes
   FF      C majorC
I'm keeping at bay
    A#A#
Don't mourn we will organise
  FF        C majorC
Stronger when we empathise
  A#A#
Resistance rising like the tides
  FF       C majorC    A#A#
To wash all the winter away
FF      C majorC   A#A#
 To wash it all away

🎸 Interlude:
FF C majorC

🎸 Verse 3:
  FF
So grab a spade, yeah grab a hammer
 A minorAm
Plant some seeds and raise a banner
 A#A#                     FF        C majorC
Roll your sleeves and rake the leaves Left by the passing storm
 FF
Boil the kettle, build a movement
 A minorAm
Every day some small improvement
 A#A#                 FF        C majorC
Ready ground to lay down all the World yet to be born
      A#A#
Lace your boots and find the shoots
          DmDm        C majorC
Still struggling through the rotted roots
       A#A#
The saplings laid by other folks
       DmDm      C majorC
We will turn into mighty oaks
       A#A#
The battle scars, the broken parts
        DmDm        C majorC
Of dreams who outlasted those hearts
     A#A#
Oh everything you dream is possible It's waiting to be made
     C majorC
So my comrade
       A#A#  C majorC
Come grab a spade

🎸 Chorus:
        FF        C majorC
Because this world's a fixer upper
    DmDm       C majorC       A#A#
Broken in the middle of a salvage yard
           C majorC
And I know it will be hard
    FF        C majorC
I go singing for my supper
     DmDm         C majorC       A#A#
Dragging half the contents of a salvage yard
            C majorC
Lord I know it will be hard
 A#A#
Maybe I'm delusional
    C majorC
But I think you are beautiful
  FF        C majorC         DmDm   C majorC
If we could just keep from losing heart
      A#A#
We might still
      C majorC
Not rest until
          A#A#
If anybody can, we will
 C majorC         A#A#       FF
Build something better from the parts
