The Tragically Hip – Wheat Kings (Ukulele)

G   C          G            C
Sundown in the Paris of the prairies

G     C          G   C
Wheat kings have all treasures buried

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

G       C          G           C
Pushing around the weathervane Jesus

G            C          G        C
In his Zippo lighter he sees the killer's face

G          C       G             C
Maybe it's someone standing in a killer's place

G                C              G                    C
Twenty years for nothing, well, that's nothing new

         G        C             G             C
Besides, no one's interested in something you didn't do

D               G              C     G     C
Wheat kings and pretty things

D                       G               C   G  C
Let's just see what the morning brings

G                  C                G             C
There's a dream he dreams where the high school's dead and stark

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

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

G         C               G              C
Hung with pictures of our parents' prime ministers

D               G              C     G     C
Wheat kings and pretty things

D                       G         C   G  C
Wait and see what tomorrow brings

G             C            G     C
Late breaking story on the CBC

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

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

G            C                   G               C
Cause if you are then there's no way that you're going to last"
