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

[Verse 2]
G          C                G     C
 In his Zippo lighter he sees the killer's face
G      C                G        C
 Maybe it's someone standing in a killer's place
G             C
 Twenty years for nothing, well,
      G        C
that's nothing new
Besides,
G   C                   G             C
 no one's interested in something you didn't do

[Chorus]
D                G            C
 Wheat kings and pretty things
D                        G          C
 Let's just see what the morning brings

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

[Chorus]
D                G            C
 Wheat kings and pretty things
D                    G            C
 Wait and see what tomorrow brings

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

[Chorus]
D                G         C
 Wheat kings and pretty things
D                      G            C
 Let's just see what tomorrow brings
D                C
 Wheat kings and pretty things
                    C          D
Oh that's what tomorrow brings.
