Plateau – Meat Puppets G, Bb all the way through G Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau. Bb 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. CHORUS
