C C When they closed the last shopping mall F C Crickets sang in crumbling walls Am Dm Termites ate through the doors G And rabbits hopped along the floors C The empty shelves swarmed with bees F C Cash machines sprouted weeds Am Dm Lizards crawled the parking lot G Swallows flew the empty shops Am Dm G And there was peace in the valley once again CFCADG |-3-3-3--3-3--5-3---------------------------3-5---3-------------------------1-| |-----------------5-------------3--5-5----5-----------5-3----3---5--3---3-5---| |---------------------5-5-5--5-----------------------------5------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| (Harmonica arr. for guitar) C Plants grew up the mannequins F C Painting them with leafy skin Am Dm Their plastic eyes fell to the floor G And were carried off by wild boars C All the mirrors cracked in half F C When wild horses galloped past Am Dm And mourning doves built their nests G On the escalator steps Am Dm G And there was peace in the valley once again Am Dm G And there was peace in the valley once again C
