[Intro]
Bm Em F#m x 2 (arpeggiated)
[Verse 1]
Bm Em They're hosing down trucks at the border F#m Bm Em F#m under a rainbow sign Bm Em The raindrops falling on my head F#m Bm Em F#m burn into my mind G On a hillside in the distance Em there's a patch of green sunshine
[Chorus]
Bm F#m7 Bm Ain't it a shame F#m7 Bm F#m7 Ain't it a shame N.C. Bm Em F#m About the radium rain
[Verse 2]
Bm Em Everyday in the paper F#m Bm Em F#m you can watch the numbers rise Bm Em No such event can overtake us here, F#m Bm Em F#m we're much too wise G In the meantime don't eat anything that grows Em and don't breathe when the cars go by
[Chorus]
Bm F#m7 Bm Ain't it a shame F#m7 Bm F#m7 Ain't it a shame N.C. Bm Em F#m About the radium rain
[Verse 3]
Bm Em Big motorcycle rumbles out of the rain F#m Bm Em F#m Like some creation of the mist Bm Em There's a man on a roof with a blindfold on F#m Bm Em F#m And a hand grenade in his fist G I walk stiff, with teeth clenched tight Em Filled with nostalgia for a clean wind's kiss
[Chorus]
Bm F#m7 Bm Ain't it a shame F#m7 Bm F#m7 Ain't it a shame N.C. Bm Em F#m About the radium rain
[Verse 4]
Bm Em A flock of birds writes something on the sky F#m Bm Em F#m In a language I can't understand Bm Em It's God's graffiti but it don't say why F#m Bm Em F#m So much evil seems to land on man G When everyone I meet just wants to live and love Em And get along as best they can
[Chorus]
Bm F#m7 Bm Ain't it a shame F#m7 Bm F#m7 Ain't it a shame N.C. Bm Em F#m About the radium rain
[Outro]
