[Verse 1]
E A E A - Grey monoliths reach out into the starless night
E A - Strip malls, bungalows, developers' wet dream
E A Spreads out like a virus from the city
E A - Hurry up, you move to slow, no one's got
E The time to wait upon you
A You've got no money
E - What do you want, what do you need
A And more importantly
E What do you think you can get?
A You've got no money

[Chorus]
D B O there's a place, where there's gold
A E Like the conquistador slaughtered for
B A And there's rubies, hanging from the trees
E Laying down on the ground
B A E And there's emeralds scattered all around [Interlude]
| E | B | A | E | (see intro above) [Verse 2]
E - Tell me more, tell me more
A E A Who do you think, who do you think you are?
E - Some kind of prophet or some kind of a priest
A Well you can wrap your lips around the
E A Tailpipe of my car
E A - Sometimes when I'm down, I close my eyes
E A I don't hear a sound
E A - And I remember the places and the people
E A I want to see again [Chorus]
D B And there's a place where there's gold
A E Like the conquistador murdered for
B A And there's rubies hanging from the trees
E Laying down on the ground
B A E And there's emeralds scattered all around [Other]
B A And the snow comes, and covers it up
E Without a sound
B A Yes the snow covers it up
E Without a sound
