D G Bm E
The wheelbarrow's fallen, look at my hands
D G
They've found some surplus cheaper hands
Bm E
Rubbing palms and pick and choose,
D G Bm E
Look at that building, look at this man
D G
Haloed and whitewashed
Bm E
Gone to find a cheaper hand
D G
Green grow the rushes go
D G
Green grow the rushes go
D G
Green grow the rushes go
Bm E
The compass points the workers home
D G Bm E
Pay for your freedom, find another gate
D G Bm E
Guilt by associate, the rushes wilted a long time ago
D G Bm E
Stay off that highway, word is it's not so safe
D G Bm
The grasses that hide the greenback
E
The amber waves of gain again
[Chorus lick]
D G
Green grow the rushes go
D G
Green grow the rushes go
D G
Green grow the rushes go
Bm E
The compass points the workers home
[Chorus lick]
