[Intro]

G C G C
[Verse 1]
G C G C
Sundown in the Paris of the prairies
G C G C
Wheat kings have all their treasures buried
G C G C
And all you hear are the rusty breezes
G C G C
Pushing around the weathervane Jesus
[Instrumental]
G C G C
[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 the killers place
G C G C
Twenty years for nothing, well that's nothing new, besides
G C G C
No one's interested in something you didn't do
[Chorus]
D G C G C
Wheat kings and pretty things,
D G C 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 is dead and stark
G C G C
It's a museum and we're all locked up in it after dark
G C G C
Where the walls are lined all yellow, grey and sinister
G C G C
Hung with pictures of our parents' Prime Ministers
[Chorus]
D G C G C
Wheat kings and pretty things
D G C G C
Wait and see what tomorrow brings
[Verse 4]
G C G C
Late breaking story on the CBC
G C G C
A nation whispers, "We always knew that he'd go free"
G C G C
They add, "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 G C
Wheat Kings and pretty things
D G C G C
Let's just see what tomorrow brings
D C
Wheat Kings and pretty things
C D
Ah that's what tomorrow brings
