C Em Here we stand like an Adam and an Eve Dm G Waterfalls, the Garden of Eden C Em Two fools in love so beautiful and strong Dm G The birds in the trees are smiling upon them B Em B From the age of the dinosaurs cars have run on Em gasoline C Em F Where, where have they gone? Now, G it's nothing but flowers Chorus: C G F There was a factory, now there are mountains C and rivers G F You got it, you got it C G F We caught a rattlesnake, now we've got something C for dinner G F You got it, you got it D A G There was a shopping mall, now it's all covered D with flowers A G You got it, you got it D A G D If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower A G You got it, you got it Years ago I was an angry young man I'd pretend That I was a billboard Standing tall By the side of the road I fell in love With the beautiful highway This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees Where? Where is the town? Now, it's nothing but flowers Dm A Dm The highways and cars were sacrificed for A agriculture Fm C Fm I thought that we'd start o-over, G but I guess I was wrong Chorus: Once there were parking lots Now it's a peaceful oasis You've got it, you've got it This was a Pizza Hut Now it's all covered with daisies You've got it, you've got it I miss the honky tonks Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens You've got it, you've got it And as things fell apart Nobody paid much attention You've got it, you've got it I dream of cherry pies Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies You've got it, you've got it We used to microwave Now we just eat nuts and berries You've got it, you've got it This was a discount store Now it's turned into a cornfield You've got it, you've got it Don't leave me stranded here I can't get used to this lifestyle | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  B  C  D  Dm  Em  F  Fm  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
