Am                    F         C
Washed my face in the rivers of empire
        F          C         G        G
Made my bed from a cardboard crate
     Em             Am      Am
Down in the city of Quartz
Am          F     C
No news, no new regrets
         F        C       G
Tossed a Susan B. over my shoulder
    F               Em       Dm
And prayed it would rain and rain
   F         Em            Dm
Submerge the whole western states
         C         F
Called a last fair deal 
        C        F
With an american zeal
    Em            Am     Am
and corporate handshake

Solo :
Am Am C C F C G G Em Am Am


Am                F         C
take the story of carpenter mike
                F             C        G
Who dropped his tools and his keys and left
    F             Em        Dm
And headed out as far as he could
         F          Em            Dm
past the cities and gated neighborhoods.
       C               F
And he slept neath the stars
      C            F         F
Wrote down what he dreamt
       C         F         Em        Am  Am
And he built a machine for no-one to see
          G            F            C
Then took flight first light of new morning
