Wheat Kings

[Verse 1]
G   C           G        
 Sundown in the Paris of the 
    C
prairies
G      C          G     
 Wheat kings have all their 
    C
treasures buried
G            C            G     
 And all you hear are the rusty 
C
breezes
G        C          G           
 Pushing around the weathervane 
C
Jesus

[Verse 2]
G       C                G       
 In his Zippo lighter he sees the 
 C
killer's face
G           C       G            
 Maybe it's someone standing in the 
  C
killers place
G                 C          
 Twenty years for nothing, well 
          G       C
that's nothing new, besides

G         C             G       
 No one's interested in 
      C
something you didn't do

[Chorus]
D                G             C 
 Wheat kings and pretty things,
 G  C

D                        G       
 Let's just see what the morning 
      C  G  C
brings

[Verse 3]
G                   C            
 There's a dream he dreams where 
    G              C
the high school is dead and stark
G         C                  G  
 It's a museum and we're all 
             C
locked up in it after dark
G                    C      
 Where the walls are lined all 
   G                C
yellow, grey and sinister
G          C               G    
 Hung with pictures of our 
          C
parents' Prime Ministers

[Chorus]
D                G            C  
 Wheat kings and pretty things
G  C

D                    G            
 Wait and see what tomorrow brings

[Verse 4]
G              C            G C
 Late breaking story on the CBC
G         C               G     
 A nation whispers, "We always 
         C
knew that he'd go free"
G               C                
 They add, "You can't be fond of 
G             C
living in the past
G             C                   
 Cause if you are then there's no 
G               C
way that you're gonna last"

[Chorus]
D                G            C  
 Wheat Kings and pretty things
G  C

D                      G         
 Let's just see what tomorrow 
   C  G  C
brings
D                C
 Wheat Kings and pretty things
                 C            D
Ah that's what tomorrow brings
