Plateau

some campy , strummy chords for the classic song . i found many versions of this song were overly complicated if you just want to strum , so i arranged it "campfire style . " enjoy! plateau - the meat puppets - capo 3 for recorded pitch Intro - Em G Em G Em G D2 Verse 1 Em G Em G Em G D2 many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau Em G Em G Em G D2 some belong to strangers and some to folks you know Em G Em G Em G D2 holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand Em G Em G Em G D2 Fm7 to beautify the foothills and shake the many hands Chorus Em G Em G the nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop Em G D2 and an illustrated book about birds Em G Em G you see a lot up there but don’t be scared Em G Em G D2 ( Em G Em G Em G D2 ) who needs action when you got words Verse 2 Em G Em G when you’ve finished with the mop then you can stop Em G D2 and look at what you’ve done Em G Em G the plateau’s clean , no dirt to be seen Em G D2 Fm7 and the work it was fun ( Chorus ) Verse 3 Em G Em G Em G D2 well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau Em G Em G Em G D2 some said it was in greenland and some say mex - i - co Em G Em G Em G D2 others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood Em G Em G Em G D2 Fm7 but those were all just guesses wouldn’t help you if they could Em : 022000 G : 320003 D2 : x00230 Fm7 : x03210 or Cm7+13 : 033200 instead of regular Fm7 , you can play what looks like an E major chord , one fret higher; its some sort of Cm7 : 033200 the second option will sound more dissonant but really sounds like what they are playing in the video . http : //www . youtube . com/watch?v = uq715u6jo_y
