Am                    F         C 
Washed my face in the rivers of empire 
        F          C         G        G 
Made my bed from a cardboard crate 
     Em             Am      Am 
Down in the city of Quartz 
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 states 
         C         F 
Called a last fair deal  
        C        F 
With an american zeal 
    Em            Am     Am 
and corporate handshake

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 cities and gated neighborhoods. 
       C               F 
And he slept neath the stars 
      C            F         F 
Wrote down what he dreamt 
       C         F         Em        Am  Am 
And he built a machine for no-one to see 
          G            F            C 
Then took flight first light of new morning
