  Eadd9                          G#m7
I remember Richard Nixon back in seventy four

   Aadd9                   C#m7
And the final scene at the White House door

        Eadd9                 G#m7
And the staff lined up to say goodbye

Aadd9            C#m7
Tiny tear in his shifty little eye

        A/D
He said     nobody knows me,

Eadd9       C#m7
Nobody understands

A/D
  These little people were good to me

   G#7sus4   G#7        F#7sus4 F#7
Oh I'm gonna shake some hands
[Chorus]
         F#m11        B7
Somebody line 'em up, line 'em all up

G#m7         C#7
Line 'em up, line 'em all up

            F#m11        B7
Want you to line 'em up, line 'em all up

G#m7         C#7
Line 'em up, line 'em all up
[Verse 2]
   Eadd9           G#m7
Ah at that time my heart was all broke

  Aadd9                 C#m7
I looked like ashes and smelled like smoke

      Eadd9               G#m7
And I turned away from my loving kind

         Aadd9             C#m7
Tried to leave my body and live in my mind

         A/D
But it's much too much emotion

Eadd9              C#m7
To hold it in your hand

        A/D
They've got waves out on the ocean

           G#7sus4 G#7      F#7sus4 F#7
They gonna wear    away the land
[Chorus]
      F#m11        B7
I say line 'em up, line 'em all up

G#m7         C#7
Line 'em up, line 'em all up

            F#m11        B7
Want you to line 'em up, line 'em all up

G#m7         C#7
Line 'em up, line 'em all up
[Bridge]
Em9   Em7       F#7#5   Bm7   A/B Bm7
Oh    I've seen corn in Kansas

    C         D/F#   G      D/F# G
And I've seen picket fences

G/F# Em7     F#7#5  Bm7   A/B Bm7
And  certain cowboy dances

C G/B C                  D/F#   G     D/F# G
        I've gone lining up for shows

G/F#      Em7     F#7#5    Bm7  A/B  Bm7
I've been safely placed in rows

     C      D/F#   G    D/F# G
Sure I know how it goes
[Verse 3]
        Eadd9               G#m7
Another day goes by, little time machine

    Aadd9                C#m7
I'm raking my brain over what it might mean

        Eadd9                 G#m7
Just to claim the time and to turn away

A    A/B   C#m7
Make today today

A/D                   Eadd9            C#m7
   Who waits for you, lonely tired old toad?

          A/D
It's your life laid out before you

         G#7sus4      G#7
Like the broken white line

         F#7sus4       F#7
Down the center of the doggone road
[Chorus]
F#m11        B7
Line 'em up, line 'em all up

G#m7         C#7
Line 'em up, line 'em all up

             F#m11        B7
Easy just to line 'em up, line 'em all up

G#m7         C#7
Line 'em up, line 'em all up
[Verse 4]
Eadd9          G#m7
Yeah, big moon landing

Aadd9        C#m7
  People all standing up

Eadd9         G#m7
Smile for the loved ones

        A          A/B      C#m7
They go walking on down the aisles

A/D
   Each re-engages

Eadd9             C#m7
Stepping into the sun

             A/D
I watch them    turn like pages

G#7sus4  G#7     F#7sus4 F#7
One by   one by  one
[Chorus]
         F#m11        B7
Somebody line 'em up, line 'em all up

G#m7         C#7
Line 'em up, line 'em all up

F#m11        B7
Line 'em up, line 'em all up

G#m7         C#7
Line 'em up, line 'em all up
[Outro]
            F#m11        B7
Want you to line 'em up, line 'em all up

             G#m7             C#7
Easy just to line 'em all up, line 'em all up

                  F#m11        B7
It works when you line 'em up, line 'em all up

               G#m7         C#7
Can't you just line 'em up, line 'em all up

F#m11  B7  G#m7  C#7
