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
