Chords

INTRO Am, Am, G, Am

             Am            
Across the skies the monuments stand

             C          G          Am
Shrines of wonder, man worshipping man

           Am                       C    G   Am
Computer ethics mock a dying land

       Am        
Down below like rats in a cage

             C          G          Am
Success, survival, two needles in hay

             Am                       C   G    Am
It's Romans One facing Satan's stare

CHORUS:

G    C  
But mountains

     Em         
Are holy places

Am             F
And beauty is free

         C     F
We can still walk

    C         G   
Through the garden

Am
Our earth was once green

LYRICS Pull down the forests we need more wood Extend the grazing we need more food Burning our bridges before the flood Out on the oceans where it's relatively safe It's not so easy being big as a whale We're all in a race on a bigger scale Homosapien, I've had enough Homosapien, I'm giving up At best your wisdom's a shot in the dark So make yourself pretty, make yourself rich Leopardskin, sealskin, money and sex Apartheid, genocide, thalidomide, life It's your choice
