            C                F/C                 G/C         F/C
Iâ??ll take a plane across the USA, Iâ??ll change my name
            C              F/C                 G/C          D/C
Iâ??ll dig a hole, throw it all away to see your face
            C              F                     G4        F
The amber waves, laughing in my face, they donâ??t believe
            C                 F                             G4     D
The golden plains, the purple mountains too, they bring me down

C                   F/C           G/C    F/C
Iâ??m sure itâ??s beautiful, itâ??s got teeth sharper than Iâ??ve seen
C                   F/C           G/C                  F/C

Iâ??ll take a plane across the USA, Iâ??ll tear it down
            C                       F                     G4      D
The battles rage theyâ??re screaming take me back, I try to smile
               C               F                        G4        F
I know sheâ??s there, I see her walking wise up in the towers
           C                 F                       G4        D
A little wind could make it all for naught, I speed along

C                   F/C           G/C    F/C
Iâ??m sure itâ??s beautiful, itâ??s got teeth sharper than Iâ??ve seen
C                   F/C           G/C                  D
Iâ??m sure itâ??s beautiful, itâ??s got will Iâ??ve only got a dream

Am                   G
I would build a road, but Iâ??m not a builder
F                    G
I would climb a tree, but Iâ??m no climber
Am                  G
I would start a war, but Iâ??m scared of fighting
F                             C
I just wanna get close to you

C                                  F
Tear it down, climb in rivers and swim in hills
                     G
Climb in rivers and swim in hills
              D
Can it go any longer now?

C                                  F
Tear it down, climb in rivers and swim in hills
                     G
Climb in rivers and swim in hills
              D
Can it go any longer now?

The lyrics to this song are nowhere to be found on the internet so I listened myself. Should be pretty close.


After listening stupidly closely, the D chords in the verses are, on the piano, Dmaj7, but
it doesn't sound right on guitar with most voicings, so just play D and
ignore that very slight dissonance you hear in the recording.
