Does anyone need yet another politician
                       D5                             A5

Does anyone need yet another blank skyscraper?
                D5                               A5
If you're like me I'm sure a minor miracle will do
                                 E5
A flaming sword or maybe a gold ark floating up the Hudson
          D5                                      A5
