Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands

G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
And an illustrated book about birds
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
Who needs action when you got words

riff

G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
And look at what you've done
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
And the work it was fun

G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
And an illustrated book about birds
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
Who needs action when you got words

riff

G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
G G Bb Bb Fsus2 Fsus2
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

Way better than version 1
I like to play the 5th fret of the C string with G and Bb to sound like the original melody
