G, Bb all the way through
 
G
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau.

Some belong to strangers, and some to folks you know.
G
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
    Bb
to beautify the foothills, shake the many hands.
 
(CHORUS:)
Bb			  G            Bb         G
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about 
Bb
birds.
Bb			     G
You see a lot up there, but don''t be scared.
Bb                    G
Who needs action when you got words?
 
G					Bb
When you''ve finished with the mop then you can stop
    G
and look at what you''ve done.
Bb
The plateau''s clean, no dirt to be seen,
G
and the work, it was fun.
 
CHORUS
 
G						Bb
Many a hand began to scan around for the next plateau.
		G			     Bb
Some say it was Greenland and some say Mexico.
			G				Bb
Others decided it was nowhere, except for where they stood.
		     G					  Bb
Those were all just guesses, wouldn''t help you if they could.

Verse 3
         Em   G       Em     G     Em            G       D2
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Em        G         Em        G     Em       G     D2
Some said it was in Greenland   and some say Mex-i-co
 Em      G     Em     G        Em        G          D2
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
    Em         G        Em      G          Em       G       D2     FM7
But those were all just guesses   wouldn''t help you if they could
 





Em:022000   G:320003   D2:x00230   FM7:x03210 or CM7+13:033200
Instead of regular FM7, you can play what looks like an E Major chord,
one fret higher; its some sort of CM7:033200
The second option will sound more dissonant but really sounds like what they are playing
in the video.

Lyrics:
 
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau,
some belong to strangers, and some to folks you know.
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand,
to beautify the foothills, and shake the many hands.
 
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds
you 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
the plateau''s clean, no dirt to be seen,
and the work, it was fun.
 
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds
You''ll see a lot up there, but don''t be scared,
Who needs action when you got words?
 
Many a hand began to scan around for the next plateau.
Some say it was Greenland and some say Mexico.
Others decided it was nowhere, except for where they stood,
those were all just guesses, wouldn''t help you if they could...
