G   Cadd9       G            Cadd9
 Sundown in the Paris of the prairies

G      Cadd9      G         Cadd9
 Wheat kings have all their treasures buried

G            Cadd9        G     Cadd9
 And all you hear are the rusty breezes

G        Cadd9      G           Cadd9
 Pushing around the weathervane Jesus
[Instrumental] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 [Verse 2]
G       Cadd9            G        Cadd9
 In his Zippo lighter he sees the killer's face

G           Cadd9   G              Cadd9
 Maybe it's someone standing in the killers place

G                 Cadd9                G       Cadd9
 Twenty years for nothing, well that's nothing new, besides

G         Cadd9         G             Cadd9
 No one's interested in something you didn't do
[Chorus]
D                G             Cadd9  G  Cadd9
 Wheat kings and pretty things,

D                        G             Cadd9  G  Cadd9
 Let's just see what the morning brings
[Verse 3]
G                   Cadd9            G              Cadd9
 There's a dream he dreams where the high school is dead and stark

G         Cadd9              G               Cadd9
 It's a museum and we're all locked up in it after dark

G                    Cadd9     G                Cadd9
 Where the walls are lined all yellow, grey and sinister

G          Cadd9           G              Cadd9
 Hung with pictures of our parents' Prime Ministers
[Chorus]
D                G            Cadd9  G  Cadd9
 Wheat kings and pretty things

D                    G            Cadd9  G  Cadd9
 Wait and see what tomorrow brings
[Verse 4]
G              Cadd9        G  Cadd9
 Late breaking story on the CBC

G         Cadd9           G              Cadd9
 A nation whispers, "We always knew that he'd go free"

G               Cadd9            G             Cadd9
 They add, "You can't be fond of living in the past

G             Cadd9               G               Cadd9
 Cause if you are then there's no way that you're gonna last"
[Chorus]
D                G            Cadd9  G  Cadd9
 Wheat Kings and pretty things

 Let's just see what tomorrow brings

D                Cadd9
 Wheat Kings and pretty things
