DOh, they Abuild buildings, F#moh, they Ebuild buildings,

DOh, they Abuild buildings, Doh, they Abuild buildings,

DOh, they Abuild buildings Eso tall these Adays

And in the DmorningA she'd Ewake up and Dcrouch Arecollections Eall day

But she would Dalways Aalways Ewake up the next DmorningA E

And he'd Dtake one Alook at her and saEy, oh, Doh, it's AokaEy

And her DconscienceA would Eissue yet another Dlast Awarning,E saying;

DOh, they Abuild buildings, Doh, they Abuild buildings,

And he would F#mgive her time and he'd Dgive her time

And he'd Egive her time and he'd Agive her time

But F#mtime is not given and Dtime is not taken

It justE sifts through its Asieve

And by the Dtime he came Aback, she'd Escrub the bathrooms

And Dmake them Asmell like Epine

It would be Dalmost as Aif Enothing had happened

And Dhe'd give Aher timeE, oh, oh, and Dhe'd give Aher timeE, saying:

The Trapper And The Furrier

Key: CHard

Bbmaj7

N.C.

The trapper and the furrier went walking through paradise

N.C.

And all the animals lay clawless and toothless before them

N.C.

And all the mothers stepped away from their babies

N.C.

Leaving them open and easy to handle

The trGapper and the furrier went walking through paradise

They tGook some for now and they got some for later

And they mGarveled at the pelts, not a bullet hole in them

And they fGilled up the cages with pets for their children

What a strCange, strange wBbmaj7orld we lGmiveBb inGm Bb

Where the gCood are damned and the wBbmaj7icked forgGmiveBbn Gm Bb

What a strCange, strange wBbmaj7orld we lGmiveBb inGm Bb

Those who dCon't have lose, those whBbmaj7o got get gGmiven

More, more, more, more Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb

The Gmowner and the mBbanager went wGmalking thrBbough paradGmise Bb

And all the shGmelves were fBbilled with awGmards and achiBbevements Gm Bb

And on Gmevery corner, a pBbower presentGmation Bb

And on Gmevery flBboor, an Gmarmy of wBborkers Gm Bb

The Gmowner and the mBbanager went wGmalking thrBbough paradGmise Bb

And all their chGmarts showBbed so much prGmomise and pBbrogress Gm Bb

No sGmick days, no snBbow days, no uGmnions, nBbo taxes Gm Bb

And they wGmandered tBbowards home, kGmings of thBbeir cGmastlesBb

What a strCange, strange wBbmaj7orld we lGmiveBb inGm Bb

Where the gCood are damned and the wBbmaj7icked forgGmiveBbn Gm Bb

What a strCange, strange wBbmaj7orld we lGmiveBb inGm Bb

Those who dCon't have lose, those whBbmaj7o got get gGmiven

More, more, more, more Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb Gm Bb

The lGmawyer and the phBbarmacist went wGmalking thrBbough paradGmise Bb

And all the sGmick were arBbound them with fGmevers unbrBbeaking Gm Bb

CryGming and blBbeeding and cGmoughing and shBbaking Gm Bb

And Gmarms outstrBbetched, prescrGmiption-collBbecting Gm Bb

The lGmawyer and the phBbarmacist went wGmalking thrBbough paradGmise Bb

Pressed sGmuits in a cBbourtroom, arGmoma of chlorBboform Gm Bb

The One Who Stayed And The One Who Left

Key: AHard

HAe went to visit an old, old friend

ADnd it was long, long GoverdueD

AAnd though they stayed up very late

ThDey never talked out of tuGrn or tuDne

AAnd every time they'd A7say goodbye

DWell he'd just stay anGother wDhile

AThey started from a distant place

DAnd were so happy fGace to fDace

AThe one who left wanted everything

DThe one who stayed never wanted more

AIt's not your choice, it's how you're built

DIt's in a blueprint of your soul

AThe one who left, he A7dropped his smile

DAnd they satG quiet Dfor a while

AThen the one who stayed A7began to speak

DAnd in his words, he Ganswered Dwhy

DI'm just another Gmdrop in the bucket

DI'm just another Bmsong on a jukebox

AI'm just another Gface in the crowd

Another Afish in theD sea

DSomething to being Gmone of the many

DSomething to being Bmone in the masses

ASomething to being Gsurrounded by others

And not alAone by yourDself

EI never wanted the bright lights in my Aeyes, I'm Dmuch too quiet

EI never wanted them pointing their fingers at Ame

Oh Dno, Embut...

DSomething to being Gmone of the many

DSomething to being Bmone in the masses

ASomething to being Gsurrounded by others

And not alAone by youDrself

AThe one who left he knew it then

DAnd he would never Gdoubt agaDin

AHe loved this life, he loved his friend

DBut he'd keep running 'til the end

AAll words they said hovered above

DAll of the pGain, all of the lDove

AThey hugged goodbye

And in his room, Dhe sang real quiet Gto the Dmoon

DSomething to being Gmone of the many
