verse 1:
[G]Sun d[C]own in the [G]paris of the p[C]rairies
[G]Wheat [C]kings have a[G]ll their trea[C]sures burried.
[G]And al[C]l you hear are the [G]rusty [C]breezes
[G]Pushing [C]around the [G]weather va[C]ne Jesus
Verse 2:
In his Zippo lighter he sees the killer's face
Or maybe it's someone standing in a killer's place
20 years for nothing, well thats nothing knew...besides
No one's interested in something ya didn't do.
Chorus:
[D]Wheat Kings and [G]pretty things.[C]
[D]Let's just see what the [G]morning bring[C]s
Verse 3:
Theres a dream he dreams where the high school is dead and stark
It's a museum and we're all locked up in it after dark,
the walls are lined all yellow grey and sinister
hung with pictures of our parent's prime minister's
Chorus:
Late breaking story on the CBC
A nation whispers "we always knew that he'd go free"
And ya can't be fond of living in the past.
Cuz if you are then there's no way that you're gonna last
Chorus: repeat
2nd time:
[D]Wheat kings and p[C]retty things
Oh that's what tom[G]orrow[C] brings
Outro:
