[Intro]
F# - A - Fm - A - F# - A - E
[Verse]
F#     A         F#           A        F#      A      E 
Many a hand have scaled the grand old face of the plateau
F#    A          F#    E     A         E        F# 
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
F#      A        F#       A          F#       A    E 
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
   F#     A     F#     E   A         E    F# 
To beautify the foothills, shake the many hands.
[Chorus]
F#                   A            E          F#                     A 
Nothing on top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds
      F#               A        E       F#                    A       E 
See a lot up there but don't be scared. Who needs action when you got words

Finished with the mop then you can stop and look at what you've done
F#        A         F#         A            F#    E      F# 
Plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen and the work, it was fun
[Chorus]
F#                   A            E          F#                     A

F#     A      F#      A     F#            A       E 
Many a hand began to scan around for the next plateau
F#   A          F#        A        E    F# 
Some say it was Greenland some say Mexico
F#        A    F#     A       F#        A      E 
Others decided it was only exactly where they stood
F#         A        F#                A        E         F# 
Those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could
