Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau.

Gb C
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
Gb C
to beautify the foothills, shake the many hands.

F E A Gb
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds.
F E
You see a lot up there, but don't be scared.
A F
Who needs action when you got words?
Gb
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
C
and look at what you've done.
Gb
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen,
C
and the work, it was fun.
