Over the mountain

Down in the valley

Everybody knows his name

He said "There's no doubt about it

It was a myth of fingerprints
GC
I've seen them all and man
DGD
They're all the same
CHORUS
G
Well, the sun gets weary
CG
And the sun goes down
G
Ever since the watermelon
G
And the lights come up
CG
On the black pit town
CG
Somebody says, "What's a better thing to do?"
G
Well, it's not just me
CG
And it's not just you
DCG
This is all around the world
VERSE 2

Out in the Indian Ocean somewhere
GCD
There's a former army post

Abandoned now just like the war
GC
And there's no doubt about it

It was the myth of fingerprints
GCDGD
That's what that old army post was for
CHORUS
G
Well, the sun gets bloody
CG
And the sun goes down
G
Ever since the watermelon
G
And the lights come up
CG
On the black pit town
CG
Somebody says, "What's a better thing to do?"
G
Well, it's not just me
CG
And it's not just you
DCG
This is all around the world
