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

From the Album “Graceland” 1986

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

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


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


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


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