Verse 1

(G)Sundo(C)wn in the Par(G)is of the prair(C)ies
(G)Wheat ki(C)ngs have al(G)l their trea(C)sures buried
(G)And all yo(C)u hear are the ru(G)sty bree(C)zes
(G)Pushing aro(C)und the wea(G)ther vane Je(C)sus

(G)In his Zipp(C)o lighter, he see(G)s the kill(C)er's face
(G)Maybe it's som(C)eone sta(G)nding in a ki(C)ller's place
(G)Twenty years fo(C)r nothing, well that's no(G)thing n(C)ew,
besides,(G) No one's in(C)terested in some(G)thing you did(C)n't do
(D)Wheat kings and pre(G)tty things,(C)//(G)//(C)//
(D)let's just see what the mor(G)ning bri(C)ngs.

Verse 2

There's a dream he dreams where the high school is dead and stark
It's a museum and we're all locked up in it after dark
Where the walls are lined all yellow, grey and sinister
Hung with pictures of our parents' prime ministers
Wheat Kings and pretty things,
wait and see what tomorrow brings.

Verse 3

Late-breaking story on the CBC,
A nation whispers, "we always knew that he'd go free"
They add, "you can't be fond of living in the past,
cause if you are then there's no way that you're gonna last".

Ending Chorus

(D)Wheat Kings and pre(G)tty thin(C)gs  (G)//(C)//
(D)let's just see what tomo(G)rrow brin(C)gs  (G)//(C)
(D)Wheat kings and pre(C)tty things,
that's what tomor(D)row brings.   (G)//(C)//
