Gb                                                   C
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau.
Gb                                               C     
Some belong to strangers, and some to folks you know.
Gb                                                  C
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
Gb                                         C
to beautify the foothills, shake the many hands.

CHORUS:

F                        E                          A                   Gb
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds.
F                           E
You see a lot up there, but don't be scared.
A                             F
Who needs action when you got words?

Gb
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
                         C
and look at what you've done.
Gb
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen,
                     C
and the work, it was fun.

CHORUS:
F                        E                          A                   Gb
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds.
F                           E
You see a lot up there, but don't be scared.
A                             F
Who needs action when you got words?

Gb                                                C
Many a hand began to scan around for the next plateau.
Gb                                         C
Some say it was Greenland and some say Mexico.
Gb                                                    C
Others decided it was nowhere, except for where they stood.
Gb                                                       C
Those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could.
