I found many versions of this song were overly complicated if you just want to strum, so
I arranged it "campfire style."
[Intro]
Em G Em G Em G Dsus2
[Verse 1]
Em G Em G Em G Dsus2 Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau Em G Em G Em G Dsus2 Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know Em G Em G Em G Dsus2 Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand Em G Em G Em G Dsus2 FM7 To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
[Chorus]
Em G Dsus2 The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop Em G And an illustrated book about birds Em G Dsus2 You see a lot up there but don't be scared Em G Dsus2 (Em G Em G Em G Dsus2) Who needs action when you got words
[Verse 2]
Em G Em G When you've finished with the mop then you can stop Em G Dsus2 And look at what you've done Em G Em G The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen Em G Dsus2 FM7 And the work it was fun
[Chorus]
Em G Dsus2 The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop Em G And an illustrated book about birds Em G Dsus2 You see a lot up there but don't be scared Em G Dsus2 Who needs action when you got words
[Instrumental]
Em G Em G Em G Dsus2
[Verse 3]
Em G Em G Em G Dsus2 Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau Em G Em G Em G Dsus2 Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mex-i-co Em G Em G Em G Dsus2 Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood Em G Em G Em G Dsus2 FM7 But those were all just guesses wouldn't help you if they could
Em: 022000 G: 320003 Dsus2: x00230 FM7: x03210 or Fmaj7#11/E: 033200
Instead of regular FM7, you can play what looks like an E Major chord,
one fret higher: 033200
The second option will sound more dissonant but really sounds like what
they are playing in the video.
